Small article at:

Somewhere I read a larger article; things that
stuck in memory are: No AES, a cipher called "Michael"
being used; also, the change is intended to be
a software-upgrade to existing devices, which
is why so many features were omitted.
There were also comments about legacy issues --you
have to upgrade everyone, so its likely that back-compatibility
will not completely obsolete wardriving. Much like Microsoft's
OS-interop-legacy-security problems.
