I am amazed that this thread is still running several weeks after you
started it, with virtually every response refuting your arguments...

You seem unable to understand the difference between enabling
functionality through a standard and mandating it. RFC 2440 has allowed
subkeys for several years now. You need to make the case to remove this
functionality better than you have done so far.

RFC 2440 was published five years ago. I look forward to your draft
removing multiple subkey capability from it.
