I agree. I recently tried to port some fixes for the "smb unmapped error 
1:157" bug from NetBSD and was bitten by this change. Putting 
NETSMBCRYPTO in GENERIC and in /usr/src/UPDATING is one option, or 
changing the default to on, moving it NO_NETSMBCRYTPO and a note in 
/usr/src/UPDATING is another.
