As far as I understand it, the agent at the moment takes care of requesting=
=20
the password from the user. Which will probably break all application using=
=20
secret key operations and managing the pw themselves.

I think --passphrase-fd should automatically imply --no-use-agent. (Or do y=
ou=20
already do this?). When the agent does secret key handling: is there a way =
to=20
continue using --passphrase-fd (and have gpg supply the pw to the agent)?
