Looking over it, my impression is that his principal criticism is, "It  
is not all things to all people."

To which my response is -- nothing in this world is, so why should  
OpenPGP be any different?  OpenPGP provides a useful set of  
capabilities and tools, but if you need it to do something that it  
clearly doesn't then you need to look elsewhere.

To return to the racing metaphor -- my Mustang GT is a hardtop.  If I  
feel like putting the top down and enjoying the wind through my hair,  
I need to get a different car.  This doesn't make my Mustang GT  
inferior or inadequate, nor does it mean I shouldn't drive my Mustang  
GT.  It just means I need to acknowledge the fact my car is a hardtop.
