Upstream silently keeps releasing 2.2 versions to this day(!) and at the same time claims 2.4 will soon be EOL (also refuses to backport security fixes for it).

Meanwhile, there are no good reasons to upgrade to 2.5, unless one wants incompatibility with the entire rest of the ecosystem (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=GnuPG&oldid=860217#OpenPGP_compatibility).

The move to compliant solutions can't happen early enough!
Also, I'm glad we have @freepg
