Nobody should be. Encryption (and decryption too, and even more) is a
decently sensitive activity and should be entrusted to dedicated
standalone, strong and independent applications.

As a brain child/brat, that is a conception, it is simpatico (I myself
was warmed to this for a shorter time at the beginning), but using
something like that integrated into a program which is constantly in an
OTF "fixing" and with running unfinished components with besides so
active beta "releases" and "OTF" live testings, is not very mind
cuddling idea.
