Well, yes, this bridge is built out of LEGO, and yes, it does bend a lot and make concerning noises every time a car drives over it, but it hasn't actually come apart yet, so we'll keep sending traffic over it.

current versions of gpg support insecure settings and the defaults are not what you want.
