Re: [openpgp] Default preferences for the future

I think TripleDES needs to go from a MUST to a SHOULD algorithm.

I don't see much point in dragging 3DES along with us into the future.  It's
done excellent service for 40 years, but the time has come to put it out to
pasture.

I think AES128 needs to be a MUST algorithm ... AES256 needs to 
be a SHOULD algorithm.

What's the rationale here?  Why should the shorter keylength be required and
the longer optional?
