Also, according to > https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Automated-signature-checking.html > for the EXPSIG case 'Note, that this case is currently not implemented.' A key can have an expiration date. A signature can have an expiration date. The "goodness" of a signature is independent of the expiraton dates. Signature expiration is implemented, I tested that (gpg 1 aka "classic"). > Hmm, I guess these are so closely related that a single status letter > is OK, but I think I would prefer your phrasing; namely: > > "X" for a good signature that has expired, or a good signature made with an expired key, > I'm open to whatever phrasing you deem clearer. Also, I'm open to using another letter for EXPKEYSIG but couldn't decide between 'Y', 'Z', 'K'. 'K' could be confused with REVKEYSIG, I'm afraid. 'Y' is next to 'X' and contained in 'KEY', it would be my first choice. Cheers, Michael
