Should we have different files for OTRv4 fingerprints and OTRv3 fingerprints? #86

We perhaps can use the same one..

It would be nice to keep it to a minimum of files. However, if someone at some time turns on their OTRv3 plugin instead, the fingerprint file might not be valid for OTRv3 anymore - and even if the plugin doesn't explode, it might not be able to write back our longer fingerprints. So I think for the purpose of backwards compatibility and maximum caution, we should have different files.

True.. I'm closing this then.
