I'll be there and I think this is a great idea. I haven't had a lot of
time to look at 2.1 but the change in private key format is weighing

We can also talk about:

* Making gpg an alternative that can be gpg1 or gpg2
* Thoughts on making the default gpg be gpg2 (or gpg 2.1?)
* More shared maintenance via pkg-gnupg.
