Removing the encryption designation from your old encryption subkey might not be strictly necessary. GnuPG will automatically select the newest encryption subkey. This behaviour is not part of any standard so the removal of the encryption designation is intended as a form of insurance to cover the case where other OpenPGP implementations have different behaviour. | Removing the encryption designation from your old encryption subkey might not be strictly necessary.

- | There is no point in redistributing your new cleaned up key produced at the end of the demonstration. Importing that key will not result in a change to your current correspondents keyrings or your key already stored on a key server. That is because the OpenPGP practice is to merge subkeys on an import. That eliminates the complexity of a mechanism exclusively under the control of the key owner to delete subkeys. | + | There is no point in redistributing your new cleaned up key produced at the end of the demonstration.
