    I'm not 5000 just one over-worked sysadmin. We are using cryptoloop on
    a handful of very key servers that 300+ remote offices transmit critical
    data through. I was aware of the weaknesses when I implemented but it
    was the best available at the time.

    Happy to migrate to dm-crypt when the userland tools are ready.
