    staging/skein: Remove Skein and Threefish code · ee55fe55
    Jason Cooper authored
    It's been four years since this was added.  In the interim, skein has
    not seen any mainstream adoption.  Same with the threefish block cipher
    upon which it's based.
    
    In the discussion over which hash algorithm will replace SHA1 in git,
    it's not one of the contenders.
    
    There's absolutely no reason to think that there is anything wrong with
    Skein or Threefish.  The only reason for this removal is a lack of
    adoption.
    
    If a real user comes forward, I'd be happy to assist with integrating
    this code into mainline.
