Because of inane U.S. export restrictions, cryptographic software can't be exported from the United States. This is the main reason we don't have cryptographic filesystem support in the kernel, I understand, particularly since Linus will be moving to the U.S. soon.
Has anyone outside the U.S. pondered keeping an up-to-date set of patches available on a non-U.S. FTP site? I have some patches, but they fail when applied to the newer kernels. I can change them for myself, but for everyone else I can't do anything since I'm in the U.S.
