Huh? I am involved in a lot of discussions with him on *which* crypto software should be used for the GNU project. So, I guess your information is a bit outdated.
RMS does not want to have pervasive crypto in the GNU project because he fears that GNU distribution sites might be shut down if they offer crypto code or code with crypto interfaces. Crypto code should be concentrated in a few packages, even if this leads to technical problems.
I don't understand, if you just place the main machines in Europe or somewhere else we don't have those problems. IMHO crypto should be intergrated in the system (and I'm happy Debian finally does this).
