OK, the linked article talks about a downgrade attack and then uses that as an excuse to talk about a whole lot of OpenPGP stuff that no one actually uses anymore. But the article entirely fails to show how a downgrade attack is possible. I mostly just skimmed the article after that but did not see any real attacks even against the old stuff. So not really a strong argument against the OpenPGP standard.
