Yeah. But we should have PBKDF2, as well -- or perhaps more completely
PBKDF2-HMAC-<algorithm>, since PBKDF2 is a wrapper around any
PRF. PBKDF2 is the devil you know. It behaves in completely

You may be right on this.  However, for backward compatibility it is
anyway required to implement S2K.  Thus I consider it better to wait for
the outcome of the PHC and make one of winners the MUST algorithm while
keeping S2K-3 as a MAY algorithm for backward compatibility
(symmetrically encrypted messages).
