And OpenPGP/GnuPG has the benefit that most prominent free software
developers use it and have done so for many years, have their keys
published in well-known keyservers, established web of trust, et
cetera. S/MIME, while interesting, lacks significant penetration
into the free software developer community and is mostly the domain
of enterprises and commercial interests.
