    Think "insurance", not "daily use."  If an advance in cryptography
    that threatens all of the usual algorithms or a major data theft based
    on cracking any of them occurs, suddenly all sorts of people for whom
    "pretty good privacy" used to be good enough will want more options.

In such a situation, distributing a little Lisp code so people
can use a different algorithm would be a small job.
We can do it if it is needed.
