Right,  and everything  you wrote  below.  I was  just re-enforcing  the
strong  suggestion that  people not  use it.  Thing about  some innocent
average  Joe (while  I put  big trust  in Alice  and Bob,  I am  not too
confident in  Joe) reading  the archives, fetching  the gpg  beta (where
necessary switching on expert mode) in  an attempt to use ECC because it
sounds cool to use.

Might be that my level of confidence  in Joe is a bit screwed, but then,
pink elephants!
