My point is that you need to roll your own cryptosystem, whereas PGP, for all its flaws, is a working, IND-CCA2 secure cryptosystem (provided you use the correct primitives). This whole blog is justification for removing PGP from Golang stdlib. I dont agree with Valsorda deprecating this.

Its never been part of the stdlib, its part of x/crypto. They also aren't going to remove it, just deprecate it.

My mistake, i thought x/crypto was part of the stdlib.
