See #29 for something better on the roadmap.

Including zcrypt would be tantamount to recommending it as "secure", and there just aren't enough scare quotes

Replying to kcr@…:

See #29 for something better on the roadmap.

My impression has generally been that at MIT, at least, zcrypt is used at least as much as an alternative to ACL'd classes as it is to prevent sniffing wire traffic. #29 doesn't sound like it solves the problem of ACL'd classes being (mostly politically, I think) hard to get.
