When we get crypto into official kernel distribution, it starts to be
widely used. And soon it will be hard to do _unencrypted_
connection. At that time, Russia will have to relax they laws, or they
get effectively disconnected from the net.

PS: Yes, it gives sense to encrypt even publicly available web
pages. 3rd party does not need to know _which_ pages I am downloading.
