I've been seeing this new encoding cropping up in all sorts of newsgroups (yes, even those ones). Not sure how I feel about it really. Anyone have any opinion?

Yes... the disadvantages outweigh the small advantage YEnc offers. A 30% decrease in filesize is fine, but what good does that do if the encryption process is flawed?

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

Ya know, that's really weird. I *KNOW* Jeremy Nixon, it doesn't strike me he'd be totally against this thing...

I don't like it for the simple fact that my favorite usenet program doesn't support it. I don't care much for the decrease in file size, perhaps I would if I was the one uploading things, but I'm not, so I don't.
