In computer science there is a word for "dumping ground for algorithms or
code that I or someone else just published or found remotely useful":
OpenSSL
And we all know how that ended: An enourmous flying spaghetti monster
embedded in a big grunch of pragmas and preprocessor macros that the
maintainers of OpenBSD describes as:
#pragma summon cthulhu
And thus it died. Or should have been put to sleep.
Adding all sorts of new stuff is never useful in the long run.
