Agree completely on just using PBKDF2.

You could put other more modern password grinders in, or even leave it open
for new technologies to be introduced easily.

With any luck the PHC will be done by the time any new PGP RFC is published,
so there'd be a well-designed, attack-resistant password-processing function
ready to use.
