You probably mean: "Among the readers of this list." How much known may it be 
in the wild...?

I don't think so because giving --with-colons, --batch, and --status-fd is not 
the problem. Making this easier should not have a big effect on the problem.

The problem is knowledge (and discipline). So the aim should be to spread the 
knowledge. This could be done by printing a warning to stderr when stdin and 
stdout are not terminals and these options are not given:

"You are probably running gpg non-interactively. In order not to break scripts 
it is strongly encouraged to use scripted output of gpg only with the options 
--with-colons, --batch and --status-fd. See http://www.gnupg.org/..."
