I don't know what you mean by runtime edition, but, there is no plan
to incorporate the JCE into the JDK. It will be an add-on package to the JDK.
The reason is that the JCE is not exportable, but the JDK is fully exportable
world wide and we want to keep it that way.

You cannot distribute cryptography to your customers overseas unless you obtain
an export license. You would not be able to obtain such a license for the JCE,
since it is a set of encryption APIs.

As for whether you can ship the JCE in binary form to US-only customers, I don't
know the legal terms of that. We do allow people to ship the JDK in binary
form along with their product. This might be mentioned in the JCE license
already, but I'll ask our lawyers for clarification.
