Have you ever encountered a real-world deployment of S/MIME that was
_not_ a top-down corporate/institutional mail solution?  Those don't 
need much community help, and I also cannot see most CABAL members
paying two Thawte (or whoever) notaries to certify their in-person
identities -- without which, the cert isn't much use.

Much of the value of GnuPG (and PGP, and the OpenPGP standard) lies in
the fact that it relies a broadbased, bottom-up web of trust -- in
contrast.
