When the Google community deprecates something as stable as PGP for reasons like "don't have common enough subset" or "can't reach the bar of safe-by-default" or "require a maintainer with deep knowledge" or "some packages are simply not used enough", be afraid. As soon as they have their moat, they will return with statements like, "you shouldn't build your own crypto library, use something stable, something tested in the wild; use our library"
