I feel like all the opinions are out on the table for this issue and
it just needs a vote.

At the end of the day though, I think the one thing that really makes
this shine is that by implementing it, we would have NO required
dependencies on a 3rd party API. That alone (to me) makes it worth
it.
I don't see it as an important advantage. People using JSecurity -
or any other Java lib - usually have dozens of jars to include in
their project. It's absolutly not any more a burden, especially with
the tools we have (ant, maven, buildr).
I'd rather get a couple of jars within JSecurity if it spares the
project peeps the time to work on things which aren't already
implemented outside.
Again, we tried to achieve such a goal on other Apache projects - no
dependency -. The code get crippled, you have to maintain it, you
overload the users CL, as they are likely to already use the very
same libs, and when a bug is fixed in the libs, you have to port it
back to your source.
Just killing...
