If I:

1.) am running the standard client

2.) Have done Settings -> Encrypt Wallet"

3.) Used a very strong pass phrase  (> 50 chars, including symbols, numbers, etc.)

Is it safe to go to File -> Backup Wallet and give that file to a friend for safe keeping without putting additional PGP encryption on top of it?  You might say "why don't you do PGP encryption anyway" but my thought is if I'm dumb enough to lose my wallet and my own backups of it then maybe I am dumb enough to lose my PGP keys too...

Thanks for your input.
