thanks, i see them now. Should I expect this label normalization to be
merged into 1.0.2 before it is released, or is this scheduled for some
future future release (e.g. 1.1.0)?
aside from 1.0.2, i'd like to offer this label normalization on the
stable branches as well, if possible, so that any updated documentation,
code, and recommendations can make use of them even on systems that
track a stable branch of OpenSSL.
Presumably, this would mean that the patchsets for already-released
stable branches would add the input aliases, but would *not* modify the
output in the two relevant places (full ciphersuite names with "EDH" in
them, and packet tracing output). So that both openssl's input and
output would change for new full releases, but the input aliases would
be available on any new stable revision.
Does this sound reasonable? If so, i'm happy to propose a modified
series that applies to OpenSSL_1_0_1-stable, for starters.
If you think i'm misunderstanding the OpenSSL release process, i'd be
very happy to get constructive feedback or pointers to documentation
that would help me understand it better.
