I am inclined to vote yes on general grounds, but my concern is whether
this might then cause some downstream consumers of OpenSSL to fail to
compile (things like Python bindings to OpenSSL, Net::SSLeay, ...)
It may be prudent to leave some stub functions in place that just
return errors, if they're currently exposed in various tools, and
likely unused, but would still cause some pain to the downstream
API maintainers if entirely removed.
Are there any such functions exposed by popular toolkits?
