Well, I do reserve the right to point and laugh if someone ignores the warnings and ends up losing data (for cripes sake, GPG with Camellia even prints out a warning every time you run it). The Camellia draft has been submitted for sponsorship in the IETF (see it at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-openpgp-camellia-03.txt). Pretty soon there will be official Camellia support and the warnings will go away.
