The Super FreeSWAN patch has morphed into a full blown project of it's own complete with road maps, mailing lists, CVS, and an IRC channel.
It would be very nice to get Openswan v2.10 included with FC2.

We are pleased to announce the 1st release of Openswan, a formal fork of the FreeS/WAN codebase, available through http://www.openswan.org

The Short Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Is it interoperable with FreeS/WAN & Super FreeS/WAN?
Openswan is 100% interoperable with FreeS/WAN, SuperFreeS/WAN, and dozens of other vendor implementations of the IPsec standards.

The Openswan 1.x.x releases will runn on 2.0.x, 2.2.x and 2.4.x series only. Our 2.x.x tree is in active development, and support the 2.6 kernels.
- What's happening to the future of Super FreeS/WAN?

Configuration + management are no different that FreeS/WAN, so config files do not need to be updated to upgrade to Openswan.
