Yeah, I strongly agree. Installing extra packages is always a pain, and
requiring it would make Gnus less usable for many people. Gnus is
important enough that users shouldn't have to do that.
The thing about encryption is very unfortunate, but AFAICS, RMS has
pretty good reasons for it.
[This sort of thing always seems to be a signal for anyone that dislikes
RMS to drag out their standard rants. Please people...]
