The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will
announce the winner of the Advanced Encryption Standard competition on
Oct. 2 at 11:00 am EST.

When will GPG incorporate the AES? I see in the OpenPGP that there are
slots reserved for the AES. What would be cool is if someone has
written "AES modules" for all 4 of the finalists, so that there can be
a GnuPG 1.0.4 release on Monday at 11:01 am EST.
