I don't think we can claim that it's undocumented: it has some user
documentation in the Commentary section.

My take from this discussion is that this package will become
obsolete, but not exactly tomorrow.  So I think it would be good to
add some minimal verbiage to allow those who still need pinentry.el to
use it.  I gather the required additions are not too large.

Thanks.
