FWIW, i have more confidence in Nettle as a cryptographic backend than i have in OpenSSL. If the project as a whole prefers to consolidate everything to OpenSSL, i am not going to block. But from my perspective Nettle is better engineered, with a more sensible API (as C APIs go), a more compact footprint, and a narrower scope of work than OpenSSL. Nettle will also be brought back into the end user system with many other common tools, including wget, qemu, etc. If it was just up to me, i'd be inclined to tag this wontfix for debian. --dkg
