Just to clarify, for the sake of the list, I did not mean code
contributions :) Part of the idea behind rayServers is to support open source
projects that contribute directly to our success and enhance the value of
open source.

I hope that mainline folks who might read this take it to heart that, in the
opinion of this user, after a lot of practical testing, loop-aes provides a
better and more stable crypto interface that that available in cryptoapi, and
that I hope to see it merged into the mainline 2.6 kernels.
At rayServers we certainly will only use loop-aes, given the resistance to the
watermark attack, the simplicity of encrypted swap, and a stable losetup
across a range of kernels.
