@julian@activitypub.space As I understand the migration path, it's like

1. Able to receive RFC 9421 in addition to draft-cavage
2. Able to send RFC 9421 in addition to draft-cavage
3. Send RFC 9421 by default, but be able to fall back to draft-cavage if needed

So by “can't handle” I meant step 1. 🙂 Although the unspoken step 4 is to remove draft-cavage support once everyone else has taken step 1, I'm ultimately also wondering when we'll get there.

@julian@fietkau.social @julian@activitypub.space Honestly, I think it's going to be a while.

I think the term for step 3 is "double knocking", and it's called out in the HTTP Signature report for the Social CG:
