tinc devel - Feb 2014 - Any plans to support standardized authenticated encryption?

Hi,

I've been using Tinc for a couple years to encrypt some Samba shares
on my home LAN.  Today, I've been thinking about using Tinc to set up
a VPN for VOIP/SIP traffic.

I have reviewed the following pages of the Tinc documentation.

Link 1 - http://tinc-vpn.org/documentation/Encryption-of-network-packets.html
Link 2 - http://tinc-vpn.org/documentation/The-UDP-tunnel.html
Link 3 - http://tinc-vpn.org/documentation/Security.html

Have Tinc developers considered using a standardized authenticated
encryption algorithm, like GCM?

Thanks!
