I prefer the following so I don't miss any:

AFAIK CPunk and Mix Chaining remailers as well as most Nym operations 
don't support PGP 5 along all hops.  Also, a 2047 bit PGP 2.62 key is 
still pretty secure.  New releases of PGP and SDKs may contain back 
doors.  I'll stick with 2.62 until the new standard emerges.
