It seems like there's a pretty bad clash of policies here.  GPG's policy
is, "we can still work if it's untrusted", and GPGME's is "we can't work
if it's untrusted".  It would be good, IMO, if GPGME's policy on the
matter were to reflect GPG's policy on the matter, regardless of what
that policy actually is.
