Barely. Age has Yubikey support with no reasonable long term key discovery, backup, or rotation strategy as far as I can tell. All things modern PGP tooling supports.

But this is what happens when people try to re-invent the wheel without thinking through all the problems the original solution solved.

Also I do put these systems to the test, regularly, and rest billions of dollars of infrastructure on them.

Anyone is free to hit up my team in our public channels with any PGP gotchas. Happy to help.

It is easy to point at past black eyes of any technology, but I stand by PGP for the use cases we recommend it for today as the least bad option for those use cases.

Also, Hagrid keyservers (openpgp.org) do email verification now and are a new generation of keysever built from scratch. The legacy ones are a mess and can be ignored.

Today though, Web Key Discovery, PGP DNS records,and Keyoxide are much better ways to discover and distribute keys and signatures now.
