That's the beauty of both upstream design and reality. THERE IS NO NEED FOR ESELECT Apps will either use and/or be developed for gnupg-1 or gnupg-2. They are different binaries, versioned by upstream. Have different features and functionality. Since gnupg-2 is not a full replacement or supports all of gnupg-1's features. Think gtk vs gtk2 or apache vs apache2. We quite commonly have two versions of something in tree during the transition period. Why that is unacceptable here is beyond me. Not to mention again, we are limiting choice, and forcing one or the other. Which is not a complete solution, and makes our offerings less than all other mainstream distros. -- William L.
