> Seems to me gpg is actually standing in the way of widespread email encryption by being utterly incomprehensible and unusable for non-experts. More fragmentation could mean that eventually a new toolset emerges with more of a chance at wide adoption.

Sequoia-PGP https://sequoia-pgp.org/ has taken an interesting approach:

1) reimplement OpenPGP primitives in Rust,
2) provide a simple human-oriented command line interface to most operations (sequoia-sq),
3) provide a drop-in reimplemetation of gnupg command line interface (gpg and gpgv) so that scripts and applications can continue working unchanged (sequoia-chameleon-gnupg).

Sequoia-PGP is not 100% ready to replace gnupg, but it is already at feature parity when it comes to the most common operations.

I wonder what the position of the Sequoia-PGP project is on the "schism" described in this article.
