In a way, I am a bit surprised about the rationale for these changes.
- the default value of epa-file-select-keys was changed because of
~/.authinfo.gpg. But obviously this change affects many completely
unrelated situations, too.
- Now the value of epa-file-select-keys is not a problem anymore
because ~/.authinfo.gpg by default got renamed to ~/.authinfo,
which is causing new problems, see #9113.
It seems to me that here only symptoms are treated in a way that
cause all kinds of new problems. -- I do not fully understand what
motivated these changes in the first place. Yet it appears to me
that it might be necessary to seek a proper solution in a different
way.
