That's not true.
There are several reasons why loop-AES has not been merged
upstream, and has very little chance of getting upstream in the
current form at all.
But hostility of the loop-AES upstream author towards linux-2.6
upstream is definately not the case. I'd like to ask you to take
more care before making such statements.
Anyways, on a constructive point, looking forward:
I'm about to submit a patchset that adds support for the loop-AES
crypto modes to the upstream kernel, so that it can be used with
plain dm-crypt and cryptsetup.
I hope this will reduce the need for using the OOT module in the
medium term, and will allow us in d-i to drop the reliance on the
OOT module builds for fully featured crypto support.
