Bruce recommends against using Twofish for crypto applications.

He has never backed off from either of two claims:

	1.  Twofish is a secure cipher that would have made an
	    excellent AES.
	2.  People should use AES for symmetric crypto needs.

He has said #1 many times and keeps a page on his site devoted to the
most recent research into Twofish.  He has said #2 many times,
particularly in his book _Practical Cryptography_.
