Is the 'simple crypto' mode really that useful to you when it only 
supports Server Proprietary Certificate (used for "console" logins), and 
neither x.509 certificates, TLS nor NLA?

Your embedded devices do not have any kind of crypto library that could 
be used instead of our own?

(PolarSSL was an option as a lightweight library, but with FreeRDP 
moving away from GPL it is no longer that relevant.)
