I think its not possible to distribute crypto stuff in the stock kernel. Am I wrong?
Some years ago I submitted a patch to include the loop device in the default kernel, and that generated a lot of mail explaining why this would lead to terrible problems. But Linus took the patch and I have not heard of political problems.
Nobody knows for sure, and the rules are unclear, but for the time being maybe it suffices to judge submissions on technical merit, without worrying too much about politics.

Linus may have taken the loop device, but he doesn't have any encryption in there AFAIK...
