For clarification, the conversations I've had at SHARE and elsewhere lead to this: if you can pull maintenance and products today using HTTPS, then you will have no problem with this new restriction. (We are one of the shops that cannot use FTPS because of the appliance (Bluecoat) that functions as proxy.) I'm only mildly concerned about the keyring name, as we use a totally different name associated with SMP/E, not with Java. That keyring works fine today.
The other issue is to verify that Support Center will still accept customer doc using traditional FTP. . . .
