Or maybe we should just do the sync anyway.

It's one thing to not be standard, but it's another to not be consistent.
The only thing that one can complain about PGP-CFB for is that it's not
standard CFB. I don't see that as an issue.

Other systems, like CMS, use CBC mode not CFB at all, so we're no less
different even if we switch.

I would prefer to keep one encryption mode and use it everywhere. The one
to use, is of course PGP-CFB. However, if we're going to change it, we
should discuss using CBC mode.
