Yes indeed, this was also reported on LWN a week or two ago. Ah, here it is: https://lwn.net/Articles/1054258/ Yes, people are starting to express their concerns and the problems they face, which was the point of our initial article. In parallel, we've got contacts with people from the OpenSSL team who want to improve the situation and their users' experience. Of course it will take time, praticularly to fix all the deeply burried problems, but they're already deploying applications in a CI to detect regressions. While I'm still not happy with the current performance, at least it's important for me to recognize the humble efforts to try to address the problems. We'll see how much time it takes, and if it works at all. Cheers, Willy
