For now, I have marked this patch set as returned with feedback as it
is still premature for integration, and there are still bugs in it.
FWIW, I think that there is a future for providing an alternative to
OpenSSL, so, even if it could not make it for this release, I'd like
to push forward with this area more seriously as of 15. The recent
libcrypto-related refactorings were one step in this direction, as
well.
