Well, I didn't mean to attack you.
I guess the configure option is disabled by default because it
apparently has a security risk and there are not so many users of that
feature. If you could provide a use case, that might help convince him
to make --allow-loopback-pinentry enabled by default (and release 2.2
and/or backport it to 2.0).
