> By that same token, what compelling use case does 2.0.x provide that > 1.4.x does not?
Werner has several times made various noises about stopping work on 1.4, as for a very long time he's been operating on a paper-thin budget of time and resources. If the workload on 2.1 increases 1.4 won't get dropped, but it'll get further and further behind feature parity with the 2.1 series. Doing an upgrade now to 2.0 guarantees that we won't be caught flat-footed if-and-when GnuPG 1.4 stops receiving updates. Right now he's maintaining three distinct branches. I'm (pleasantly!) surprised he's managed to do it this far, but I don't expect it will go on much longer. > The gpg-agent is interesting, and potentially useful for heavy > command line PGP users; but for Enigmail's purposes you've already > got that covered. Except for bugs in it. Upgrading to 2.0 means we eat our broccoli, deal with some support issues, and manage to cut a large chunk of the codebase which we know has bugs in it. That, too, is a compelling case for 2.0.x.
