The colon format difficult?  I can do almost everything on the command
line.  awk(1) is your friend.

Well, if you need interaction you need to have a way to pass the
passphrase.  Interaction and unattended use are mostly orthogonal
requirement.

Agreed, the required status-fd/command-fd FSM can get quite complex.
However gpg 2.1 has the new --quick* commands which can replace most
common usages of command-fd in scripts.

What is the problem with a logging-fd?  Being able to specify a file
descriptor instead of a file is a very useful feature and can easily be
used by a script.  If you really want to log something.
