Not know details about this one: Sometimes stuff gets deprecated for cleanup reasons and for long term prospects. Often you can find more details in the code. > (In other words, I am assuming that > the GPG developers know something here that we do not, and I believe > that to be a reasonable assumption.) In my experience GnuPG developers (which I'd include myself) strongly like to have everything in the open (to be verifiable). The only situation I can image that we or others keep something back is for a limited time during the course of a responsible disclosure, but this does not seem to be the case here as the code is there. (What also happens with software is that details are not explained.)
