While imperfect, this seems like the only solution likely to result in
consensus. A government willing to require a GMR key would not hesitate to
outlaw PGP completely. Like the range of criminals smart enough to use
crypto but dumb enough to use GAK, the range of government anti-crypto
hostility which would require GMR but would stop short of outlawing non-GMR
PGP is very narrow.
