Is the CRC checksum required in the current PGP spec? I'm unsure, RFC 4880 - OpenPGP Message Format § 6 Radix-64 Conversions states:
The checksum with its leading equal sign MAY appear on the first line after the base64 encoded data.
§ 6.2 Forming ASCII Armor is not explicit about the requirement, although it is about the order.

It will soon be RFC 9580. Yes, it has taken a long time, with a heavy process and a contentious history. No, it is not derelict. And it has significant support of a wide range of community members.
Ok, I checked RFC 4880 for the regex PR I wrote, the current regex and tests are not compliant with that RFC in regard to:
Maybe recheck those with the draft too.
If this is about some other PR, it'd probably be best to point to it, and comment over there.
See the rationale from the upcoming standard:
