gollark: > why not include it? it seems like a reasonable inclusion.It would be complex and probably lead to endless bikeshedding.
gollark: You have to deal with trusting a server and maybe key distribution and stuff.
gollark: Fair, although they're somewhat more *complex* than "magic uninterceptable channel"l.
gollark: So only stuff like PotatOS ship strong crypto nowadays.
gollark: The other way would be some sort of hypercomplex crypto solution, but it would probably have its own problems and I think SquidDev said no to including that sort of thing in core CraftOS.
