You could reasonably agree or disagree with Filippo take, and after quite a bit of discussion it was decided to not deprecate the opengpg[1]. I'm pretty sure that Drew's comment contributed exactly 0% to that decision.
[1]: It was deprecated a two years later as no one stepped up to maintain it, so it bitrotted even further, and there are other (better) 3rd party implementations anyway. Speaking up is nice, actually doing the work is better.
- aborsy 4y agoPGP is difficult to replace. It’s very well supported, and frankly works sufficiently well (sure, it’s outdated, but so is SSH, TLS etc). There are other software that might be more secure and user friendly, but PGP is also secure. A lot of extremely sensitive information is encrypted with pgp.
