Thanks for your thoughts.
First, I don't think the thread is off-topic, as the list is (from my
understanding) concerned with development related questions... and this is
one.
Second, I hear what you are saying, but IF openssl implements the
specifications as defined in the appropriate standards and RFC's then I'm
wanting to know the reason for divergence..
Like is the openssl implementation to restrictive for the ssh people to use?
Is there a flaw they were working around?
If not, shouldn't there at least be an option to include the ssl libraries
externally compiled to a sharable module?
Admittedly, I'm a windows developer, but if the "DLL" is there, stable, and
will be less demanding on system resources due to shared memory, then
shouldn't it at least be an option?
thanks,
mitch

I wouldn't consider myself an authority, but I see value in a reasonable
(you
define reasonable ;-) number of implementations. It's not possible to see
the
whole story if the world only aproaches the problem from one direction -- I
agree that we want the focus on quality of implementation not quantity. But
sometimes I think you need a little bit of both. Hey, anyway, there are a
lot
of people on the face of the planet working on this stuff. There is
probablly
not enough code in any one implementation to go around! ;-)
I know I'm feeding an off-topic thread... don't worry I won't post on it
again
