Not for Tramp 2.0. It doesn't see new features; just bug fixes will be
provided for it.

There are also plink/pscp, which use pageant as agent. All of them from
the PuTTY package.
However, what I would like to have is a general identity handling
mechanism in Emacs. This shouldn't be restricted to Tramp only. There
shall be interfaces to ssh-agent, to the Gnome and KDE keyring managers,
to gpg, etc.
So I'm not convinced yet to start a Tramp-only solution. password.el,
which is used by Tramp, is also no own development; it comes from Gnus.
