I'm surprised that it hasn't come up, yet. But it's CLI interface as well as it's data model are truly archaic. It's near impossible to properly invoke from other programs or scripts and most users don't even understand half of it's "web of trust" concepts.
This is especially bad since small mistakes can easily break your security model.
I don't want to rewrite GnuPG, I want a fresh start without all the cruft.
