I guess I am talking more about the fuss involved, and the paranoia around GPG-zealots, like there are many in Debian. GPG is not the holy grail, it’s a tool which doesn’t actually fit the real world (you have to be a hacker to use it, basically), it’s misunderstood in many ways (see keysigning), and yet, it’s a great way to waste your time with it for minimal security benefit.
