  Thank you for clarification.

  As you said, ipsec-tools(setkey) won't have such problem. I think of
  the user who uses iproute(ip).

  Now, 2.6.21 is going to be shipped in Fedora Core7. So the user of
  Camellia on the FC7 must use keyword "cbc(camellia)" with iproute.

  I know it is my miss, but I hope this fix mamkes the configuration
  to be more easy by using iproute.

  Regards,

P.S.
  I don't know how many users use iproute to set IPsec:-).
