Pardon Me for pointing this out , But; OpenPGP must remain viable in a
commercial sense.  g10 & Werner *must* remain 'competitive' in the
marketplace.  Some included algorithms have got to be available for
'compatibility' with with _all_ OpenPGP usages.  Discussion of Camellia
is really out of context for GnuPG-Users since the vast majority do not
have access to it and the few that do must/should recognize their
exposure to 'Experimental' implementations.  :-\

Camellia, in all permutations, is /Bleeding Edge/ and unless One is
comfortable with the personal responsibility required of use of /any/
Alpha version should steer clear of even considering  Camellia.

Just My 2 cents worth.
