+The ``openssl-native`` class supports using the native version of openssl
The :ref:`openssl-native <ref-classes-openssl-native>` class supports
using the native version of ``openssl``
+built by the build system rather than support of the version provided
+by the build host. It helps setting environment variables for engines,

I could suggest:
"""
built by the Yocto Project instead of the one provided by the build host
distribution.
"""
I find "rather than support of the version..." confusing.
I think we could also replace the "It helps" sentence by stating that
any recipe requiring openssl to be run on the host should inherit this
class instead of just adding openssl-native to DEPENDS. Maybe that could
even be a new QA check?
I would still keep the last sentence though.
What do you think?
(Thank you for sending a documentation patch in the same series as the
code implementation, this is rare enough to be highlighted, much
appreciated!)
Cheers,
Quentin
