I will assist, If you're willing to let me.  I'm already on the mailing
list, and have been following the little snippets as they are added to
2.0 and scouring the archives.

Are the security doc's already in the tarball?
I haven't checked yet as I'm at work :(  I will in approx 5 hours.

I respect your decision.

In fairness, the apache issue was seeded from the decision the maintain
2 stable branches within the same package name.  Both gradm 1 and 2
cannot co-exist correct?  A user could then install both right?
Will 2.0 eventually trickle down to all the gresec aware kernels?

Sorry for being a PITA,
