Yes, well the first step is to estimate the importance, appropriateness,
difficulty, etc.

The U.S. govt, probably others.  Although I am no security expert, I believe
the current status quo is that you have to register your strong encryption
source code with a govenment agency before you can export it.  Using a premade
package that every govt wants to use already, i.e., IPv6 makes this somebody
else's headache and removes one reason for scrutinizing freenet servers.  As if
there still won't be lots of excuses for govt's to interfere with freenet
server operation.
