As I said, it's not.  Hasn't been for many years.

Remember, the ability to read the new framing became at least a SHOULD 
27 years ago.  18 years ago, the new packet types made it a MUST.

Can anyone name *one* OpenPGP implementation in notable use today that 
still cannot understand the new framing?  There isn't, right?

But are these ancient implementations still being used today?
Where?  By who?

Seriously, at this point it's not on me to prove no one such 
implementation still exist.  It's on you to show that it's still being 
used.  So far no one did.  Not a single example.  If there was one, then 
one of you would have answered my first query with "this reader still 
doesn't understand the new framing, we have to still use the old to be 
compatible with it".
