You simply can't use gpg2 without gpg-agent. It is a part of GnuPG and required. Yes, these changes are permanent. gpg-agent is designed to take care of all private key operations. Thus gpg and gpgsm only need to care about public key and the per messages session keys. Modularizing a system in this way is much safer; it is similar to what you do with a smartcard or a HSM.
