As I said yesterday, the current version is at 
http://www.unixuser.org/~ueno/pgg-20060407.tar.gz
This code should be fairly stable.

I agreeded to revert the code from v5-10 branch of Gnus because the
release of Gnus v5.10.8 is so imminent.  However, I didn't think the
release of Emacs is as well.

No, I wasn't satisfied with your decision at all.  Though allout.el
appearantly has a bug, i.e. allout.el uses PGG in a bad way, it works as
expected by Ken (the author of allout.el), so it won't be fixed.  On the
other hand, I have many enhancement plans of PGG based on the new code
such as keysigning features, string-based interface, etc.  I think it
should be tested not only by the Gnus people but also by Emacs people.
