--- Comment #17 from Simo Sorce <[email protected]> ---
Is there a good reason to add a new crypto library to Fedora?
This library has been pointed out previously as having several flaws.
- it does not support configuration via crypto-policies so it can't be
configured to use algorithms consistent with the rest of the systems.
- in the past there were architectural issues that made it vulnerable to known
side channel attacks (particularly bad for a TLS implementation).
- it is not clear to me if this library uses exclusively the system certificate
store and behaves properly when the store is updated
- at a cursory look upstream I do not see even basic TLS conformance tests
using something like tlsfuzzer or similar

To be quite honest I do not think Fedora should include yet another TLS library
unless there is a very, very, very good reason to do so.

What dependency is this package trying to satisfy?
