<p dir="ltr">Not *quite* true - GPG comes with more mature client side tech for managing signing keys at the developer end, and that's independent of the PyPI trust model. Since it's a coin flip otherwise, that's probably going to be enough for us to favour GPG as the signing tech.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the spirit of "status quo wins a stalemate", GPG should currently be considered the default choice, with alternatives needing to offer genuinely compelling advantages to displace it. (note that isolating the signature generation and verification to a separate non-Python process isn't a major issue from my point of view)</p>
