How is 2.4.x progressing?

Hi,

   Long time, no post. Thought I'd drop a note and ask how the port to Linux 2.4.x was progressing. Also, wondering if SE Linux made any use of the International Patch, if installed. (SE Linux might not use crypto, but I'd be amazed if it never used secure hash functions.)

   Also, to go back to the IPSec question, NIST's Cerberus IPSec was/is either funded by, or partially developed by the NSA, if I'm reading the documents rightly. However, it was said (more than once) on this list that SE Linux will -probably- use FreeSWAN. My question here is not whether that is technically the right decision (FreeSWAN is evolving, Cerberus is stagnating), but whether the SE Linux core team is going to be free to make it. I could just be over-anxious, here, but I don't know of many PHB's who will pay to develop one product, and then use a "competitors". Any reassurance on this would be greatfully received.
