There is still very much a set of users in the incident response community that relies on PGP. These are professional teams that need to communicate with each other. They talk about upcoming disclosures, current abuse, upcoming operations or patches, et cetera.

This stuff is almost all short to mid-term secret. Most of this will become public in a month or so. Leaking meta-data is an assumed risk (or too much hassle to avoid, take your pick).

I use PGP pretty regularly, too. But what does that have to do with the comment I wrote?

Encrypted email for this user group is certainly not over, and there is still no realistic alternative for it. So PGP is not going to go away completely.
