Adding Skein to the kernel makes no sense, from a cryptographic point of
view, at this point in time. The appropriate point would be after it
has been analyzed and vetted by crypto experts over a period of time.
I suspect even the designers of Skein would advise you not to use the
algorithm until other cryptographers have had a chance to examine it and
it has been subjected to cryptanalysis over a period of time. The same
goes for all new submissions to the NIST competition.
