After this mail:

1. LibTMCG dropped it by default: 
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/libtmcg.git/commit/?id=2c8a6861ab839cb58b6483a04a7b584423a27811

2. Heiko Stamer submitted a pull request to rfc4880bis: 
https://gitlab.com/openpgp-wg/rfc4880bis/merge_requests/17

I added a comment to slighty improve the wording:

> To minimize metadata, implementations SHOULD NOT emit this key and its 
> corresponding value except for debugging purposes with explicit user 
> consent.

If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it.
