There are no current plans, although your CIPSO and IPsec patches have
been floating around and we've been meaning to update and adapt them for
ages.  Unfortunately, time constraints have thus far prevented that.  I
have hopes we will get to it within a few months, however.  I'd like very
much to ship 5.1 with at least IPsec support.
