We're not suggesting that this should not happen, merely that the "front=20
ends" should be true front ends through which all the functions of GPG=20
can be accessed, not just Key Managers.

With the advent of KGPG, we're well on the way in Linux to the=20
equivalent of Window's GPGShell, and its to be welcomed.  But GPA and=20
the like do not claim to be any more than Key Managers (and out of date=20
at that), and when you look at the various shells for PGP 2.6.x in Win=20
3.11, they were much more than Key Managers.
