I have seen a couple of new OpenPGP keys which have only email addresses
as user id's. No person's name at all. I also noticed that Notmuch Emacs
email client was changed in recent months so that it shows only signer's
email when the signature is verified with a valid key, even if key's
user id's have person's name.
Am I seeing a starting trend here? Do some people think that it is
better practice to have only have email address as user id? What might
be their reason? Or maybe it's not a trend and doesn't mean anything. I
got curious anyway. Add your speculation. :-)
