I think the reason this choice was made was that we didn't consider the alternatives you've outlined. I distinctly remember trying to get pinentry to behave in some other way. We cannot control the question shown by the second prompt (it always says "please re-enter the passphrase" or something like that) and I remember trying very hard to work around that but eventually giving up on it. > Because of these things I believe the patch should be applied and the later > two > things should be iterated on top of that. I don't see why not.
