Not really - GPG2 passphrase caching is smarter than elisp level caching
as it uses unique ID embedded in GPG data, so it allows user to share
passphrases even among multiple Emacs processes.

encrypted fields in netrc is also not easily editable and given that the
people editing netrc are kind of power user, how about making netrc
files as fallback and read-only from Gnus?
