Re: RFC: gnupg
I wrote a long reply to Zed's email, and lost it :-(
So, on sober reflection, I am able to sum up my response very briefly as
follows:
1) No one is asking you to stop using PGP. There are many reasons to use
PGP over gpg, for you as a private individual. All I am suggesting is that
for debian official purposes, we switch to gpg. Primarily this is package
signing, but there are a few other things (sending out passwords, etc.).
2) There should be no reason why PGP and gpg cannot coexist on your system,
with appropriately clever mail filters in place.
3) You will use your existing PGP key to sign your gpg key initially - I see
no scope there for exploits, could you clarify?
