Can't the PGP signature on the PDF be manually validated? Technically, when the process can be done without actual paper, maybe it's possible, I don't know (hell, I don't even know if uses PGP). I just assume this part is more delicate to modify because that's where the "legal validity" checks would happen. >> This said, this is an FSF-issue, not specific to Emacs, so it would be >> better to discuss it elsewhere. > Can you indicate what the proper mailing list would be (noting that there is Maybe gnu-prog-discuss@gnu.org (mailing of maintainers of GNU packages)? Tho you'd probably just get agreement from them, so maybe good to get support but to get actual movement maybe it's better to send it to assign@gnu.org and to rms@gnu.org? Stefan
