Creating and maintaining a large software project that "features" differing crypto strength depending on the country it's being shipped to is a HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS! I know because this was something I did for the Solaris implementation of Kerberos. What an excellent way to introduce bugs that never get tested. Crypto/security is hard enough to get right without added complications like this.
