I just ran into this:

It's not a huge deal (and there are several workarounds, for git and
for
other tools which default ot using 'gpg'), but it highlights the
mismatch
between the default /usr/bin/gpg running gpg1, when other tools, like
gpg-agent, are tailored for gpg2.
RHEL/CentOS has shipped /usr/bin/gpg with gnupg2 since at least
sometime in
RHEL6.
I'm not saying we shouldn't continue to ship gnupg1, but can we at
least
rename it, so gnupg package is version 2, and gnupg1 provides
/usr/bin/gpg1
instead? This seems overdue. Is there any reason not to do this?
I am in favor of changing the default too. The question is whether it
is not too late for Fedora 24 as I'd say this should be a Fedora Change
and we are past the deadline for Changes proposals. So this will have
to be postponed to Fedora 25.
