But if anyone objects, you could write a compatibility module that can be called to use the new interface to change in a compatible variant of the old wrappers, which would then provide the old hooks/facilities when needed while staying out of the way (not even being linked into static programs) for the rest of us. I guess this is because that interface is not a part of a commercial grade full featured SSL/TLS and general purpose crypto library, it is just a means to do quality assurance on said library.
