Yeah, I expect this sentiment is true for most contributors. And I'm really hoping there are other things which aren't on my radar, but other contributors are enthusiastic about, that would also be served by this kind of library approach. For example, I seem to remember you saying during the SHA-256 series that the next hashing algorithm would also be painful to implement; would that still be true if the hashing algorithm is encapsulated well by a library interface? Or is it for a different reason? > When > I send patches in the future, I'll try to make sure that they're > friendly to this goal. That's awesome to hear. Thanks, brian. - Emily
