Is there plans to add a "wipe" function to GPG?
For example:
gpg -sew -r Bob file
  sign and encrypt for user Bob, when done wipe the original file

Traditional wiping with shred or wipe shouldn't be trusted  on journaling=
=20
filesystem, so maybe filling the original file with garbage, something=20
like /dev/urandom > file, might be an option?
