Strongly disagree.
The libmp interface is not very fault-tolerant, and not well used
(anymore).
The bignum (BN) bits of libcrypto are much more fault tolerant and
ubiquitous.
Time to throw out the trash. The "its traditionally part of BSD"
argument holds no water - the BSD books that I have point to MH and
Emacs in the same way.
