Does the new TB implementation support TOFU? If so, you lose your TOFU
historical data and identity assertions when you would export/import to
a different OpenPGP implementation. That'd be a shame. Maybe there's a
need for a standardised interchange format for that.

TB chose (unfortunately in my eyes) to currently only support explicit
trust using their own trust handling. I hope that future versions will
support other methods.
