the other day I was thinking about whether it might be time to
replace GPG with another backend. age [1]
Even if Pass were to support Age as an alternate backend, why replace
GPG? None of the reasons given is compelling enough for those already
using GPG to switch.
Sure, if you are happy using GPG, why switch to age?
If you are happy using OpenVPN, why switch to WireGuard?
If you are happy using $OLD_CLUNKY_SOFTWARE_WITH_BAD_UX, why switch to a more
modern approach?
But this is a philosophical discussion, won’t continue it here.
as far as I can tell, age(1) has absolutely no concept which can replace
web-of-trust (key management in general is ad-hoc), so at this time it
is not really appropriate as a PGP replacement.
let's hope they add key management in version 2, then I'll take another
look.
