Yeah, but you could argue that it's better to change it now before
Oort Gnus has been bundled with a released version of Emacs.

I don't think we necessarily need menu items for the prefixes -- a
sub-menu which let's you change the default with radio buttons would
be better, IMHO.

I think it's a great opportunity to simplify and clean up the
crypto-related menu items.  We could arrange it like this (which would
make the Attachments menu much less crowded):

    +---------------------------------+
    | Sign                (C-c RET s) |
    | Encrypt             (C-c RET c) |
    | Sign Part           (C-c RET S) |
    | Encrypt Part        (C-c RET C) |
    | Encrypt/Sign Off  (C-c RET C-n) |
    | Change Security Method     +-----------------------+
    +----------------------------|  [x] PGP/MIME         |
                                 |  [ ] Traditional PGP  |
                                 |  [ ] S/MIME           |
                                 +-----------------------+
