Point of order: there are valid and important criticisms of PGP that have nothing to do with its jack-of-all-trades philosophy. There's no modern cryptosystem in the world you would design with PGP's packet scheme.
- woodruffw 11mo agoYeah, that was just the low-hanging fruit I reached for. (I think you can make a tie-in argument here, though: PGP's packet design and the state machine that falls out of it is a knock-on effect of how many things PGP tries to do. PGP would maybe not have such a ridiculously complicated packet design if it didn't try and do so many things.)
