I dont have any feelings or objections about any of the ciphers or hashes included or excluded (ok maybe serpent should be included), however I can imagine that deleting old ciphers and hashes would cause a problem with backwards compatibility. Why md5 and cast5 are still included is beyond me, other than for backwards compatibility.
Lastly, who is this governing body that decides what algorithms should be included? The IETF OpenPGP group? As a regular user of gpg, but novice when it comes to the history of PGP/GPG this discussion on the history/politics of GPG/PGP has been very interesting for me. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
