Right, and everything you wrote below. I was just re-enforcing the strong suggestion that people not use it. Thing about some innocent average Joe (while I put big trust in Alice and Bob, I am not too confident in Joe) reading the archives, fetching the gpg beta (where necessary switching on expert mode) in an attempt to use ECC because it sounds cool to use. Might be that my level of confidence in Joe is a bit screwed, but then, pink elephants! -- PGP: A0E4 B2D4 94E6 20EE 85BA E45B 63E4 2BD8 C58C 753A PGP: 2C23 EBFF DF1A 840D 2351 F5F5 F25B A03F 2152 36DA
