Does anyone have a good estimate of how many command-line oriented OpenPGP
applications are actually in use beyond GnuPG? Im really just curious, I
was under the impression that GnuPG is sort of the de-facto standard
implementation for the majority of OpenPGP users on a computer with a
keyboard. I know there are implementations for a variety of other
languages, but I wonder if they have significantly motivated development
teams that would take this on and implement it in practice. Has the GnuPG
team indicated an interest in writing an entirely new CLI ? For mobile
applications and other OpenPGP implementations that do not even have a CLI
this is obviously not going to be of interest, but I understand that that's
not the target audience for this sort of document anyway.
Im not trying to throw cold water on the efforts to standardize a more
friendly interface on an increasingly complicated protocol, I just wonder
how far it will go beyond becoming an interesting specification.

Hi OpenPGP folks--
The recently-announced OpenPGP test suite [0] inspired me to try
drafting a spec for a purely-functional, stateless OpenPGP command line
interface. The idea is that different implementers could provide the
same interface, focusing specifically on the object security aspect of
OpenPGP (leaving aside identity management).

I think this is a *phenomenal* idea. I wonder if this could mature in a
well-defined API that e.g., gpgme could adopt?
Concur!
