Well, the Yahoo! folks are not 100% committed to OpenPGP compatibility, according to statements on Twitter. Of course this may or may not change (or it could all be a misunderstanding), in case it isn't though, I don't see what E2E-compatability adds. If the projects make a solid commitment to OpenPGP compatibility and back it up then that changes things. > At any rate, changes are afoot, and i don't think we should be afraid to > update the defaults if we think a new set is reasonable. Hear hear. There are many times where GnuPG setting the pace would have helped those of us helping others understand how to use PGP. Samir
