Ah, so its an addition. Fair enough. Well so long as gpg stays supported then. gpg stuff is used all over the desktop for mail encryption, doc encryption and handled in the keyring managers for things like gnome and cached using stuff like gpg-agent as you'll know better than me ;) epa/epg is used in stuff like org-crypt so all my :crypt: entries are encrypted using my gpg keys. pani over ;) regards,r .
