sad state of symmetric crypto - algebraic ignoring continues?

algebraic attacks on GHOST, etc:

AES has intentional algebraic structure as well, yet also resists
linear, differential cryptanalysis. (e.g. strong in these aspects
despite simple algebraic structure)


how long until someone discovers a workable algebraic attack?

when will we get S-Box constants and other magics truly generated at
random? No more up my sleeve numbers! :)
