Um, no. There is nothing "broken" about an OpenPGP product not
implementing Blowfish. I was just talking to Phil Z. about this issue last
week. Twofish is a lot nicer than Blowfish. If you are in love with Bruce
Schneier's work, use Twofish if you must. Even CAST and 3DES are probably
better choices than Blowfish. I don't even think that Bruce recommends
people use Blowfish anymore.
