I'm not convinced this is material for a minor release, the feature works as
documented and it was never documented to cover PGP. Re-reading the thread PGP
was never discussed, and while that admittedly seem like an oversight doing
this in a minor release will alter documented behaviour which is generally not
what we want to do.
