Hi guys,
does anyone here feel strongly about the PGP key requirement for new users? Given that asdf-install is dead and the common-lisp.net key ring does not fulfull any useful purpose, I would like to change the new user shell script so that instead of requiring a PGP key, a ssh public key would be required and be used to grant the new user access. The password would be left empty (password, ha!).
Any objections? Please speak up. Otherwise I'll make the change.

Hi folks,
TL;DR New common-lisp.net users now need to send their SSH key to enroll. A PGP key is no longer required.
I got two responses regarding PGP usage, both of them agreeing that they are not useful enough to keep them an hassle our new users with installing gpg. Instead, new users now need to send their SSH public key. Please let me know if you have any issues with the change.
Thanks, Hans

As one of the two out-of-band supporters of this change, I'll say it in public this time: by all means go ahead.
