There is no more such big wars and flaming around and I feel, the situation is better than at any point in the last years, since modding started.
I don't see any reason (and the whole team doesn't as well) to do a new encryption. It would sepearate the community - nobody wants that - and after all, it would be broken soon anyway. Nothing worth the effort.

Blocking all mods out wouldn't be a good idea, I agree. In particular the sound related ones. However, having something that can regulate what is allowed on the server (other than venerable CRT2), so that servers can either allow mods or lock everything non stock out - would be a tremendous help for online community IMO.
