New Security Stuff for 2.0 - question

Given the recent discussion around BouncyCastle on incubator and  
other project lists.  I thought I'd poke to see what new items we  
have and make sure we have our export / legal stuff taken care of or  
accounted for.

Can folks who are aware of changes in the following areas reply to  
this note?

New keystore mgmt facilities?
Password encryption?
New ciphers, etc?

Thanks

Hey Matt,
Was just catching up with some reading on legal-discuss@. Looks like  
Geronimo needs to be classified with an Export Control Classification  
Number. Have we ever done this? We're not listed in the current  
classification table. So, looks like we have a little work to catch  
up on...

Here's some info -- http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/

By my interpretation, all Geronimo releases should be classified as  
ECCN 5D002.
