That's uncalled for.  It's certainly not the impression I get.

Well, that depends.  My own rule of thumb for ‘foo supports 
encryption!’ is:

  $ gpg
  bash: gpg: command not found
  $ foo --encrypt
  error: whoopsie: BUG in do_foo()+0x4f44!
  <16 lines of barftrace>
  error: warning: error: No such file or directory. (-ERROR)
  $

=> Make gpg an input, and quick.

  $ gpg
  bash: gpg: command not found
  $ foo --encrypt
  error: gpg not found, please install it.
  $

=> This is totally fine, users who want it know what to do next.

Kind regards,
