Exactly what does this "future" depend on:

* Simple developer time to implement?
* Encryption algorithm licensing?
* Encryption algorithm development?
* Does the AFS codebase have a modular encryption scheme where a new 
algorithm can simply be "plugged in"?
* Can you just simply use the prototype encryption algorithms from their 
respective RFCs?
* If you started today on a full time basis, how long do you think it would 
it take to add AES for example?
* Would this also include the implementation time for "fs crypt"?
