No conspiracy. I believe Jeremy made it clear that the agenda of the sorcery
team is such that they don't want to support hashes.


Tread lightly, and dont make such generalizations/omissions.

Given that none of the three primary contributers to this thread arguing
for removing hash support are sorcery team members, I think its safe
to say that it isn't *just* the sorcery team's "agenda". These people are
arguing on their own accord, with their own free time. I would say that
the majority of vocal smgl community members think there is an advantage
to using gpg as opposed to continuing to use hashes.

I misunderstood their statements then. Alright, it's not just sorcery team's
agenda. Fair enough.

Sergey.
