i am not completely opposed to pgp, though i refuse to use an rsa key, which
debian still requires; and debian is not likely to switch to dss keys before
switching to gpg (which is supposed to happen some time soon).

i use pgp 5 because at this point it is better software than gpg; eventually
gpg will improve and i will use it instead. meanwhile, my pgp5 key is usable
by gpg users, which is also important. i absolutely will not use an rsa key
now that patent-free methods are available and i find it kind of hypocrytical
that debian still requires rsa keys even though pgp5 and dss/dh keys are as
available as pgp 2.6. i don't think it would be very difficult to merely
require new developers to have a diffie-hellman key instead of an rsa key and
encourage all old developers to switch by sending in a dss/dh key signed with
their old rsa key.
