I see pinentry.el was removed from emacs master - is it worth mentioning it did more than the functionality stated as making it obsolete?

For example, as long as INSIDE_EMACS was set, I could decrypt files using gpg from eshell or term and be prompted through the minibuffer, and git could sign commits while prompting through the minibuffer as well. 

I guess I'm saying it seems to me that pinentry.el had more use than just being used by epa.
