If this is the same as Debian's crypto situation. it's difficult. You
have to send a notification to the BXA every time crypto leaves the
country - this can be automated, but every time you do a mirror push,
you have to let BXA know. And, of course, since you can't ask the
mirrors to regulate this, the only practical way is to pulse it out to
mirrors and inform the BXA from there, and then have US people grab it
from non-US mirrors.

As I said, it's hairy.
