You'll see that it is no longer sold. For a long time.
Originally there were grave export limitations on decent encryption technologies. Thus distros couldn't simply add the crypto stuff in: sysadmins had to add it on their own. RedHat used this to sell a version of apache with mod_ssl already bundled. I figure that since they were sending this to US customers alone there were no export limitation problems.
Anyway, by now there are practically no problems with distributing and bundling Openssl , so the distros already do that for you. Thus stronghold has no edge and was silently merged into the RHEL product line.
