actually neither are complete rewrites. i played around with diff and found that the new version of OpenPGP seems to keep about 60% of the old one and LibrePGP seems to keep 90%.

so the rewrite claim was exaggerated. i didn't compare the stuff that was added or merged.

The claim is even more exaggerated than that, because a lot of the diffs between 4880 and 9580 are editorial and structural, and don't have any semantic effect.
