As long as PGP Corp has the same assumption about the lifetime as you.
Recently a lot of users made a bad experience with NAI and PGP.
Nobody knows what will happen after the VC has been burnt ;-)
So please have a close look at PGP that it will always comply with the
OpenPGP standard and that it does not get away with proprietary and
undocumented extensions again. I am confident that PGP Corp will do a
much better job than NAI in this regard.
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
