This may be naive, but,

Does the prohibition on the distribution of crypt() apply only to
sources, or do binary application programs like "login", "su", "ed"
and "vi", and any locally developed programs like "ftp" have to change,
too?  What, pray tell, is the password field in /etc/passwd supposed
to contain if crypt() is out?
