Hi Werner,
I understand you have strong opinions what's better, but I think the
overall goal to protect users has the highest priority. I'd consider the
encoding strategy of transport metadata, like the algorithm identifier
or parameters, as a rather unimportant detail that shouldn't justify a
schism.
If more users and implementations can share a single interoperable
specification, the overall protection of users will be better, because
it increases the chance that fallbacks to weaker, classic algorithms is
unnecessary.
I would kindly ask for more willingness to compromise on the protocol
level, for the sake of protecting users.
I recently saw a political cartoon, which reminded me of the term
"Divide and Conquer".
I don't know if there is any actor who's actively playing that political
game and is sowing discord, in order to weaking the OpenPGP protocol.
But if someone is, we shouldn't let them win.
Kai
