I'm curious - on what platform is OpenSSL NOT available ?
And even more curious to see you defend that offhanded bashing of
OpenSSL,
a tool a whole lot of people (including me) depend on all day every

If Postgres had the market penetration of OpenSSL, our lives would
be a

more stable than OpenSSL?

If you accept that Microsoft's SSPI is a flavor of GSSAPI, then
GSSAPI is more widely supported and probably more stable on Windows
machines than OpenSSL is.
