Discontinuing PGP is IMO currently not an option for the project, as our current security infrastructure relies on it. I do think however that we should start preparing the road for an eventual phase-out of pgp. The best alternative I'm aware of is GNU Privacy Guard (`gnupg' on nonUS). How difficult would it be to extend our infrastructure (new maintainer acceptance; developer-keyring; dpkg-dev) with support for gpg?
