+Hi Kurt,
+
+The exportKey API should be considered experimental at this point.
+There are things about it that don't really make sense (e.g. the
+`pkcs=1` parameter, which doesn't make any sense if you want to expoer
+in OpenPGP format, for example). Realistically, it should probably be
+removed from Crypto.PublicKey and placed into Crypto.IO, but I'm not
+sure of exactly when that will happen.
+
+Cheers,
+- Dwayne
