The toolchain appears to be a big problem for a great many users these days. 
Right now I am a gentoo user (kmail/kontact) and only a few weeks ago those 
tools found their way into testing ~x86. Before that, you couldn't use S/MIME 
with kmail at all unless of course you do the installation yourself which can 
be quite tricky. This is not a comfortable way for most users.
And this situation is probably not likely to change as long as gpgsm is still 
marked as alpha. I think it would be good to change that to reach a wider 
spectrum of beta testers.

I have done quite a lot of development integrating gpgme into our software and 
up to now I didn't have any serious problems, which makes me wonder why it is 
still considered way experimental.
Can anyone here tell me if there's any kind of schedule for gpgme/gpgsm to 
become beta?

I'll give it a try.
