Would Debian be against the new NSA encryption Speck?

[stevepusser]

I already pointed out that none of the Debian kernels ever enabled it, and even if it did, you'd have to use a tool that specifically used it. Sit tight and find something else to worry about--maybe a solar flare that'll wipe out our infrastructure.

So then it will be removed from the kernel in the next linux kernel release or do I need to do something?

not sure what to say to this.
i cannot be aware of every kernel flag or other detail in the code; i trust both kernel devs and distro maintainers to do The Right Thing.

edit:
just noticed that stevepusser already said something very similar.

When is the solar flare happening?

[debiman]

don't worry about solar flares, worry about butterflies (or emacs)!
