Let me ask you a completely different question. What is - to you - the purpose 
of the reserved packet space around 61-63 in any of the pgp related standards?
What's the purpose of X-foo headers in emails? of X-foo http headers?

This is not about poppler or rfc9580 or any other things. This is about GnuPG-
in-debian adding a patch that was rejected upstream for likely breaking 
things.

I consider this in the same family as if an email server started to reject 
emails with a X-foo header, a http client refusing to continue downloading 
after a X-foo header.
