The paper gives good reasons to implement sha-based crypt scheme, no doubt. But
IMHO this does not have to mean glibc cannot support bcrypt(), does it? If you
look at the pages in my first not you will find that *BSD C libraries implement
even more schemes e.g. NT-hash. More algorithms make system more interoperable.
Alexander offered a proper patch to integrate it so there wouldn't be too much
work for you.
Last and least. Forgive me my conspiracy theories but if a government agency
tells me: "use this encryption", I can hear: "we assure you, no one else but us
can break it" ;-)
