You haven't understood whom I want that for. People who have a certificate usually would not use this with each other, of course. But even the majority of people who "use" GnuPG (without being aware of that) don't have one: The Linux users who have GnuPG installed because the package manager needs it. And the 99% aren't even GnuPG users. My claim is that it is easier to make someone just install GnuPG and e.g. Enigmail than to make him do that plus care about certificates. I would not advise using OpenPGP without certificates but often it may end up as "take this or nothing".
