By the way, I think it would be much cooler if GnuPG used pinentry-curses or pinentry-tty, rather than the current /lib/cryptsetup/askpass and --pinentry-mode loopback. That would also gracefully ask for the smartcard to be inserted if it were forgotten or the wrong one was inserted, and prompt the user multiple times when they mistype their passphrase/PIN. I didn't look into this for stretch yet.
