Re: Question on Integrity of Sequoia-PGP Developers

Well, that's what we ended up with. GnuPG has also been emitting 
LibrePGP packets by default for some years by now, so it's not just 
something that's coming soon, it's already here. And on the flip side,
support of OpenPGP v6 is fairly complete in most big implementations and 
everyone is moving on to PQC, although none emit v6 by default yet as 
far as I'm aware. There are some comparison charts here:

To give you a starting point, there is a comparison of OpenPGP and 
LibrePGP from a technical and spec management perspective here:
