In gpg.conf this is used for deriving a passphrase for symmetric
encryption.

In gpg-agent.conf it is used to override the calibrated iteration code
for protecting keys in gpg-agent.  There is no need to change the
algorithms.  For interoperability and maintenance reasons we try to
limit the number of user modifiable parameters.  Eventually there will
be change to an AEAD algorithm, howver interoperability is the main
concern and not theoretical attacks.
