By the way, I think that for the same reason Substitution shouldn't be in Crypto either. It can only protect against accidental loss of confidentiality, not malicious.
In the same vein, CRC functions can be considered weak ciphers. So, I retract my earlier support for not placing it under Crypto, and suggest we add them under Crypto since they are useful on similar streams and essentially need the same interface(s).
