If your supposition is that most people do not care whether or not they are breaking the law, then I object. It is a serious matter, whether one agrees with said law or not. As the main developer of gnupg, Werner is the person who is most likely to feel the 'long arm of the law' reach out and so his discretion is both understandable and correct.
