I've already proposed this: if silly laws in one country cause problems, let's move the infrastructure to a different country. The crypto export problem would then become the problem of individual developers (and well, if you want to live in a country with such laws, it's really your problem. No reason for it to become a problem for the whole project). And with the infrastructure currently in place, it certainly is no problem to offer a separate upload queue for US-resident crypto package maintainers. (I'm *not* saying we should move infrastructure right away. I just think that in the debate about NEW processing, this aspect can safely be ignored as it's imho not hard to work around.) Anyway, as has been pointed out, this has recently been discussed in depth already - I think I know which thread, I dropped early out of it. So please let this one here die. greetings -- vbi
