why dont you understand that there is no "official" crypto stuff?
who decides which of the varying implementations is the "official" one? 
so far none of them got integrated into the main kernel tree.

the loopAES package actualy is a "fix" for the main problem of the
int-patch (ie the problems when applying it), if you can live
with the reduced featureset (ie all you want is loopback-encryption).

(this is getting a religious discussion. i still prefer the "less
 code"-strategy.)
