I think the reality of OpenPGP's lifecycle is that we are going to be
dealing with legacy implementations and algorithms anyway, and just
I don't think that "legacy" is an appropriate term here. In contrast to
many other protocols (e.g. IP) we need to care about data at rest.
There are huge amounts of encrypted or signed data on disks and tapes
which eventually need to be decrypted.
It might be good to think of OpenPGP data like the tar format and not
like http/smtp/xmpp.
