I don't like moderating with a heavy hand, but there is a lot of
"choir preaching" going on at the moment, and not enough attention
being paid to the recent developments (such as the recent crack by
Wagner, Schneier et al of the cellphone code, or the potential moves
by the U.K. to ban cryptography).

If possible, I'd like to see more attention paid to these important
developments, and less commentary that we've all seen before. Its
getting a bit out of hand...
