Ahhh great: I'm holding back Twofish support for GnuPG for many weeks
now, only to have the chance to use 128 bit block ciphers as a
criteria to decide whether to use MDCed encryption - but NAI has already
decided to make facts and thereby ignoring the discussion at the WG.
But sure, it is your companies decision - tssss.
