We had to sign a 'contract', promising never to implement our own crypto!

  That's dumb. It gives the impression the cryptographic library developers are grown in the lab or something. Guess what, cryptographic library developers go the same schools as the rest of us. That's there's some sort of development that's somehow out of reach for "regular" devs is elitist and counterproductive. It means there's a generation of graduates that don't do systems programming or anything where security is important. Schools are dodging the important societal responsibility of teaching students how one designs and implements software that really, really needs to be correct.
