I think I will add some more algos, to avoid using 3DES (while it
should be safe enough... I don't like the solution "lets do it 3

3DES is arguably the "best" (defined as "has been studied the most and
hasn't been broken") algorithm in OpenPGP. 3DES has been around since
1978 (far longer than anything else in OpenPGP) and been attacked
continually since then. It hasn't fallen yet. The main reason why
3DES isn't good is that it's dreadfully slow, not that it isn't a good
cipher.
