@ -332,7 +332,6 @@ The structure of a *CertificationRevocation* is as follows:
| Issuer Fingerprint | Hashed | True or False | Strongly Recommended | The primary key is the issuer |
| Reason for Revocation | Hashed | True | False | Determines soft or hard revocation |
For User ID revocations, the *Reason for Revocation* subpacket is crucial. A value of `0` means no specific reason, leading to a hard revocation, while `32` indicates the User ID is no longer valid, resulting in a soft revocation. Omitting the reason subpacket is also equivalent to a hard revocation.
It is generally advisable to use reason code `32` for revoking User IDs.
