Alright. Can you comment on if the source-level API is going to stay the same, at least? (If it's going to stay the same, then giving details on how to link with a version of OpenSSL that provides that API -- even if it's not the "FIPS-certified" version -- would allow users to get working on apps that need to make use of the API. If it's not, then I won't worry about it. If you can't comment, I'll assume it's not guaranteed static.)
