He's also not exactly wrong. The continuing support for SE packets is an embarrassment to us. In our defense, though, the GnuPG userbase revolts whenever Werner mentions something as mild as dropping PGP 2.6 support. When Patrick changed Enigmail to consider lack of MDC a fatal error, he had five complaints overnight. It's very easy for pundits to say "your backwards compatibility is a real problem, you need to break it and move forwards." But I don't see any of them volunteering to answer all of the support requests that would flood in if we were to do that. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
