-Since version 2.2.22 keys are created in the extended private key
-format by default. Changing the passphrase of a key will also convert
-the key to that new format. This key format is supported since GnuPG
-version 2.1.12 and thus there should be no need to disable it.
-Anyway, the disable option still allows to revert to the old behavior
-for new keys; be aware that keys are never migrated back to the old
-format. If the enable option has been used the disable option won't
-have an effect. The advantage of the extended private key format is
-that it is text based and can carry additional meta data. In extended
-key format the OCB mode is used for key protection.
+These options are obsolete and have no effect. The extended key format
+is used for years now and has been supported since 2.1.12. Existing
+keys in the old format are migrated to the new format as soon as they
+are touched.

+The CA is allowed to issue certificates for qualified signatures.
