Big news for you: We are here precisely because we prefer OpenPGP to
S/MIME. And *I* certainly don't use S/MIME. I use X.509 when really,
really forced to (for TLS/SSL HTTP, jabber, POP3, IMAP4, ... servers),
and then usually in a "flat" mode (self-signed certs, my own CA,
...).

I don't even know what CMC is, and in the PKCS#n galaxy, which one n=1
and n=8 refer to. Maybe I use them without knowing it?
