I agree. Support for soon to be patent free algrithms is a good thing. I hope that in version 4.0, after the users had time to migrate to DSS/ElGamal, PGP will fully move away from RSA.

Speaking of patent-free, :-), can you do blind signatures without RSA?

I think it is possible using the both Diffie-Hellman and the RPK algorithm (developed by the New Zealand chap quite recently), although patents probably apply to the latter algorithm. Don't forget that for ecash style systems, only the *client* needs to do the blinding, not the bank.
