IMO there's nothing wrong with suggesting to do things in a certain way, even if there is no consensus about that (yet). Perhaps this suggestion looked a bit too much like "this is how it should be done" and not enough like "you could consider this, but it's up to you if you like it". But there's nothing wrong with that latter type of statement. Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
