Well, there is no good place to put OpenPGP software.  There is
gnupg.scm, which contains GnuPG-related packages, and some other OpenPGP
software, that IMHO shouldn't be in gnupg.scm.  GnuPG is an
implementation of the OpenPGP protocol.  Putting a different
implementation into gnupg.scm just because it implements the same
protocol seems wrong.

Sure, I missed that.

Sure.
