IIUC bouncycastle is used for parsing encrypted pdf's,
and rome is used for parsing RSS feeds.

We're quickly getting at diminishing returns here. The rome jar adds only about 1% to the size of the jackrabbit-webapp.

The bouncycastle stuff is heavier, but it's also much more useful. It's needed not only for read-protected PDFs but for ones with any kind of embedded protection (modify, print, etc.). Dropping bouncycastle would measurably reduce functionality for quite a few users, so I'd only consider doing that if there's a convincing case for why the required extra space is troublesome.
