@hko@floss.social @giacomo If I have to choose between non-proprietary software or non-proprietary standards, I choose later. With GnuPG, however, you have non-proprietary software with a proprietary standard. This makes the development of alternative software cumbersome, because you have to count on the goodwill of Werner.

@duxsco@fedifreu.de The good thing is that no one is forced to deal with GnuPG's increasingly odd choices. My perspective is that there is really only one sensible path forward: The formats that are developed by the OpenPGP WG at the IETF. There are half a dozen independent implementations of both RFC 9580 and draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc. It's clear that there is a lot of consensus, and will to modernize in a collaborative fashion.
