@darkuncle@infosec.exchange I find it truly hard to understand what exactly is going on with GnuPG, but I consider the analysis in https://mastodon.ie/@andrewg/116464399797066586 one of the more compelling theories about why this is all unfolding as it is.

@darkuncle@infosec.exchange @hko@floss.social I believe a significant part of the problem is animosity between some of the people involved, and reservations against some algorithms such as AES-GCM (even though they are optional in OpenPGP at the request of GnuPG, iirc)
