A quick glance at the results of a search for "crypt" suggest that  
pypi already hosts dozens of crypto packages.  I think that the  
crypto export regulations from the USA are now routinely ignored by  
more or less everyone on the Internet, which is how it should be.

Also, they changed the regulations last year and I still haven't  
gotten around to reading about the new rules, so for all I know what  
PSF is currently doing is legal.  Or maybe it is even more illegal  
than it was before.  Who cares?
