Personally, I don't like to enter my long GnuPG password every time
I start up Gnus. It's safe enough anyway because I use full disk
encryption with LUKS. Or maybe those passwords are not too important
because they're only for a simple Usenet server. So, warning users
shouldn't be too noisy because there might be good reasons of using
the unencrypted file.
