PGP Is Dead
A great deal of effort is being taken to dissuade people from RSA4096 and PGP. But we do know from the Snowden leaks that system is(was) secure against the NSA if properly implemented. "This destroys the RSA cryptosystem" no doubt is driving adoption of Curve25519 and Signal.
I think we need to talk about layering more. There's no shortage of compute cycles today. Each message should go through encapsulated rounds of encryption, preserving the older standards until it can be definitively proven they are broken, which has not been the case with RSA. At least one of those layers should be multivariate or lattice post quantum scheme. https://github.com/polysome/vane

PGP Is Dead
I was curious about this problem, and found that the pull request for "Implement WKD" (in the web app) was merged[0] in December 2019, and there is a bug report[1] from October 2020 complaining that the Android app can't look up (some) WKD keys. That bug was last updated in November 2020 and is still open.
