I'm not surprised by the technical limitation, but it's a bit
disappointing. As the (soon-to-be-ex) upstream maintainer of Mail::GnuPG
I have just given up testing the ssh-agent related functionality (more
precisely, started ignoring failures on these tests). I expect many
people will continue running gpg1, with gpg-agent 2.1 (since that's the
only gpg-agent available to them).  Perhaps Werner should deprecate this
configuration (and push people to migrate) if it's not a sensible thing
to do.

Not that I disagree with closing the bug, just commenting for the record.
