I agree.

We are not very good at removing features in Gnus. For example,
Mailcrypt and gpg.el are still supported as PGP backends... We
haven't even labeled one of them as unsupported yet. We probably
should.
I don't think we can reasonable mark PGG as obsolete until at least
Emacs 23 is released (I'm assuming Emacs 23 will be the first release
that ships with epg.el).
