i think "demonstrate" gestures partly in the wrong direction.

much agility is already built in. the point here is not that more agility can be built in on short notice (even though that is also true). but rather that OpenPGP already allows users to make a lot of decisions about which mechanisms to use, right now.

OpenPGP demonstrates significant ["cryptographic agility"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_agility). It doesn't rely on a single fixed set of algorithms. Instead, it defines a suite of cryptographic primitives from which users (or their applications) can choose.

This agility facilitates the easy adoption of new cryptographic primitives into the standard, allowing for a seamless transition. Users can gradually migrate to new cryptographic mechanisms without disruption.
