It could put the individual mirror sites at legal risk. It's one thing for Walnut Creek CD-ROM to decide to assume that risk themselves; quite another thing to make it the default that would affect all the mirror sites. If somebody in Europe fetches the crypto stuff from a mirror in, say, Massachusetts, it's being exported from Massachusetts, not from the SF Bay Area where it is supposedly OK.
