PGP is also a crappy format:
http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/08/whats-matter-with-pgp.html
and using PGP means we're probably stuck with PKCS#1 v1.5, which
should have been phased out worldwide many years ago.
In any event, I don't see why PGP compatibility requires any sort of
OpenPGP parser in the kernel. Just because GnuPG goes out of its way
to be incompatible with anything other than the OpenPGP ecosystem
doesn't mean that you can't relatively straightforwardly generate raw
PKCS#1 signatures from an OpenPGP key.
