Not entirely true.

#1.)  Mandrake Update doesn't see these packages for "automatic" 
inclusion as an option.

#2.)  I have tried  installing Netscape Common, Netscape And 
Communicator via kpackage and rpm -i "foo.rpm" and each fails because 
"such and such sub package is needed by such and such something else"

#3.) If you subscribe to the mandrake security list you'll see that 
the crypto sub-directory at Mandrake is missing at least one main 
component. And that the various Mandrake servers have all the SNAFU 
problems of occasionally falling behind on security fix updates.

#4.) IN GENERAL, you are right. It only takes a little effort to get 
Mandrake Cryto Stuff, and the pretty good Manual is online (The 
O'Rielly "Beast-People" book on Open_SSH is STILL NOT RELEASED!).

#5.) A question...is both gnupg and pgp updated to account for German 
Security Hole on your system?
