Given the relaxing of US export laws last year, this text is really no
longer necessary, and I should edit the list description accordingly.
(Shows how much time I spend on crypto these days...)  

In any case, making something a SIG as opposed to just a mailing list
will not magically free up more of people's time to work on the SIG's
deliverable.  SIGs have sputtered along without produced much of value
before; cases in point include the import-sig, locator-sig, plot-sig,
and types-sig, which don't seem to have altered the Python landscape
much.
