It is, and betas will appear soon for 2.2.* kernels.
It will *never* be part of the standard kernel, because
US Government thinks that encryption is equal to munitions..

40-bit encryption isn't. Why not just put 40 bit as the default
in the kernel, but require patching to get any higher.

Thanks. Is there any concensus on which filesystem is "next" after
ext2? There was lots of talk about the reiser fs for example...
