The general feeling is, as someone put it here, it means everything and nothing, a fog of words. Something like "we're able to store encrypted streams and try some brute-force on it later, also the known attacks against weaknesses and such. But if the protocols are executed flawlessly and implementations have no weaknesses, we don't stand a chance. Also, we've got out Bundestrojaner, and if we use that, we're on your system and you're practically defenceless. Never mind that it's in the face of the constitution and actually so badly written it violates some of the really important and very distinct guidelines that the courts have given us."
