I'm genuinely slightly averse to PGP right now because it has no support
for modern crypto.  No ECC support in the stable release at all, ed25519 is
nowhere to be found as far as I've seen.  Plus since we already have
quantum computers that are no longer theoretical.  I'd like to see if we
couldn't get ahead of the curve and work on trying to find something that's
"quantum safe"
