You mean make a huge song and dance about making changes while making no
changes whatsoever?  Australia and NZ are much more efficient than the US,
they skip the song and dance bit and go straight to "make no changes".

(In case that leaves people puzzled, nothing has changed in US policy.  The
 announcement was just the same one they've been making on average every
 three months since April 1994 about the end of export controls (which means
 there's one more due before the end of the year).  The motivation for this 
 one seems to be threefold, to derail any attempts to pass crypto legislation 
 for the rest of the year, possibly because of fears about the Bernstein case, 
 and to try to sneak in provisions for covert access to information - it's a 
 retrenchment trumpeted as a liberalisation).
