I had some bad expiriences with BouncyCastle JARs. It turned out, that
the jars were mixed from different versions. I'm a bit fuzzy if the
cause were sealed packages or the signatures.

As long as the signed JARs work I'm all for using them. I just pointed
out that it could cause problems.

If the signed jar is identical (apart from the signatures) or tested I
don't see a problem switching.

Greetings

Matthias
