@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)

@neverpanic@chaos.social @darkuncle@infosec.exchange frankly, after observing this mess for quite a while, I think these explanatory models are not fully convincing. Sure, there are animosities, and they do play a role. But I don't believe they are the ultimate root cause. About the technical "arguments" (such as the complaints about GCM in RFC 9580), I have come to believe that those are entirely disingenuous parallel constructions.
