As clients and servers are fundamentally different in usage it makes no
semantic sense to me to create a client then "turn it into" a server.
This is the context that I think I'm missing: why are they fundamentally
different?
Clearly with respect to sasl, the distinction is important in order to
infer their roles. Likely the same is true for ssl. The JIRA also
mentions a server being able to automatically adjust to clients selected
layers if desired, which sounds nice.
However this doesn't seem fundamental to me, it seems like a
configuration of the handshaking behaviour after which usage will be
pretty much exactly the same.
