I would like to have the option to have a smaller gnupg version in the |
| 10 |
shape of a well maintained upstream GnuPG-1 for any embedded or handheld |
| 11 |
devices I might acquire in the future, as I would only need OpenPGP |
| 12 |
support on such a limited disk and resource device. Please state a |
| 13 |
reason for not providing me, and many other users and developers alike, |
| 14 |
from such a choice. |
| 15 |
With no slotting I can bet on GnuPG-1 going away shortly after all |
| 16 |
architectures have stabled GnuPG-2, or is that not so and such users can |
| 17 |
mask >=GnuPG-1.9 and keep using a smaller version that perfectly fits |
| 18 |
their needs? If yes, why not slot it as is designed? |
