I believe they rewrote gnupg-agent to actually make it secure - like
ssh-agent - instead of just storing your passphase it stores the private
key and denies any processes getting direct access to the unencrypted
private key. This also has other advantages apart from just security.

However, I haven't used gpg2 enough yet to know how to use this just
yet.
