v3 keys are deprecated for about 15 years and due the severe
weaknesses of MD5 it does not make any sense to keep code around to
use these old and broken keys.  Users who need to decrypt old messages
should use gpg 1.4 and best re-encrypt them to modern standards.
verification of old (i.e. PGP2) created signatures is thus also not
anymore possible but such signatures have no values anyway - MD5 is
just too broken.

We have also kept support for v3 signatures until now.  With the
removal of support for v3 keys it is questionable whether it makes any
sense to keep support for v3-signatures.  What we do now is to keep
support for verification of v3-signatures but we force the use of
v4-signatures.  The latter makes the --pgp6 and --pgp7 switch a bit
obsolete because those PGP versions require v3-signatures for
messages.  These versions of PGP are also really old and not anymore
maintained so they have not received any bug fixes and should not be
used anyway.
