The article also claims that Debian has moved away from GPG signatures. This is not true.

Thanks for this article, it makes very good points. In particular, about the UX of GPG, i've found Sequoia to be a very good alternative: https://sequoia-pgp.org/

There is literally a link in the article that takes you to the Debian website: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Apt/Spec/AptSign

I might rephrase that since they didn't technically moved away from OpenGPG (yet). It was a proposal at the time.

Sorry, of course meant GPG, OpenPGP being the standard on which GPG is based on.
