Van de Ven: Deprecating old crypto

Worth a read: this post from Arjan van de Ven on the difficulty of removing old, insecure cryptographic algorithms from a Linux distribution. "But more, and this is a call to action: If you're working on an open source project that uses crypto, please please don't opencode crypto algorithm usage. The algorithm may be outdated at any time and might have to go away in a hurry."
