      The current wisdom is to have specific tools/constructions for specific purposes, so as to eliminate/reduce footguns and to incorporate modern cryptography. Edit: https://latacora.micro.blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem.html https://latacora.micro.blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem.html

        Current wisdom != a single blog post. I disagree with every single one of his points btw and from the looks of it, so do a lot of others.
