Hrm. I'm against this. CAMELLIA is going to be deprecated in e.g.

You may be against it but it is a matter of fact that CAMELLIA is an
officially assigned OpenPGP cipher algorithm for 6 years.

As discussed in the meeting tuesday, deprecation is a tricky subject for
formats with stored data (as distinguished from on-the-wire network
traffic).  people have archives of encrypted data that may still use
this cipher.

We may latter decide to deprecate certain algorithms but that is not a
question right now.

The sense of the room in Yokohama was to deprecate as much as possible,
and encourage a limited, sensible set of algorithms for message creation
and signing.  But sensible implementations will likely continue to allow
decryption of these ciphers for years to come.
