Ok, I will leave both in for the time being.  Maybe encrypt.el should be
removed later though.

As best I can figure from the discussion on emacs-devel (the threads
seem all over the place):

 * There's some interest in assistant.el, but it hasn't been developed
   enough yet.  It's the sort of feature Gnus could really use (because
   of the complexity of configuring Gnus), but nobody is actually doing
   anything about it...

 * It seems unlikely encrypt.el is going to go into Emacs.

   The merge from Emacs changes netrc.el to not use encrypt.el, so
   leaving it in Gnus seems a bit pointless (the changes to netrc.el
   could be reverted in Gnus, but I'd rather avoid diverging sources
   when possible).
