PGP Universal was never meant for this application, we can all agree
there.. but the convenience it allowed in theory from an end-user
standpoint is still something we're trying to replicate everywhere
else. It's obviously not a trivial problem because we have a baker's
dozen variants nobody can agree on at any given time.

How many "solutions" to part of the overall end-user challenge set
have we seen on this list alone in the past two weeks?

We need a libtech retreat that we don't leave from until we code out
and agreeable solution for our massively varied end-user cases. ;-)
