The comparison is baseless. Hash randomization is a language feature
that can only be enabled at interpreter startup, and is at best a
per-application decision. SSL settings, on the other hand, have to be
decided per-client endpoint, not per-process, and they will depend on
the external service you connect to rather than the way your code is
written.

I'm -1 on adding env vars because we can't agree on SSL configuration
options.
