That's what I thought at first too. Well, it seems libmutt is probably
going to be dropped in the future and mutt's GPG/PGP configuration is
not that easily made 'user-friendly'. I don't think we want 'normal'
users to have to enter all that - I (while using mutt for over 5
 years) had some problems understanding and installing mutt GPG
support.
