9 Nope, psi does not depend on gpgme, it uses gpg directly - so it can use gpg1
10 while the gpgme stuff can use v2 at the same time.

15 AFAIK they can't be, because they need to cache the passphrase, which is not
16 supported by gpg2. Does anybody know how passphrase caching works with gpg1?
17 Maybe it is possible to write some plugin/extension/patch to allow gpg2 to do
18 the same?

33 I'm confused - do you mean the password agent? Hasn't the password agent been
34 deprecated for a long time? I use pinentry for gpg2 ;) What is the advantage
35 of running "the agent"?
