I totally disagree, choice is everything.
That's why we allow NULL crypto algorithms. Not doing
so turns this into a political thing, which I decidedly
do not want our IPSEC implementation to be all about.
And therefore I will add the patch.

If you use the netlink based IPSEC implementation, any crypto
algorithm is supported fully the moment it is added to crypto/.
When using pfkeyv2 sockets, yes you have to assign a number and then
the APP has to be aware of it. This just shows how bogus it is to use
fixed numbers instead of strings to select crypto algorithms.
