The Security/Kerberos support is a huge project that has been in progress
for several months, so the implementation spans tens (if not hundreds?) of
patches. Manually adding these patches to a prior Apache release will take
days if not weeks of work, is my guess.

The 0.20S (aka 0.20.104) branch is over on Yahoo's repository at github.
Currently, the latest Cloudera CDH3 beta release does not have security
integrated, but we are in the midst of this integration as I speak.

Thanks
