No! This was exactly my first thought also. ASCII Armor format is
extremely useful for passing the messages from app-to-app via the system
clipboard using copy-and-paste. As a mobile PGP developer, there are
situations where this is the most convenient way to move the PGP
message/key from a non-PGP enabled app (like most standard mobile mail
clients) and into an app that can decode/decrypt it correctly.
If ASCII Armor is to be deprecated, I would hope that we at least replace
it with something else that can be easily copied-and-pasted.
