If `epa-armor' is not supported it should be removed or be made in to a
defconst. Or it could be crptically renamed so that people don't
discover it accidentally. The info manual can be augmented to mention
why the author thinks using it globally is not a good idea.
epa-armor is like the biblical forbidden fruit with hints of both
pleasure and pain. The ultimate end it achieves is to leave mere
mortals in a state of perpetual confusion on private matters.
