The proper question is, why don't you let the users use the ciphers and
external utilities they want? You are assuming that every Emacs user
will a) install GnuPG, and b) find it adequate. Furthermore, you're
basing your "apparently weaker" argument on an example XOR
implementation I supplied to show the API, which is unfair.
