For a normal user as intransparent as ever, haha, and that table
is an image, so i could not even copy and paste for searching just
a little bit of background, that tops it a bit.
But thanks.

Anyhow i made it because i did not understand the item
  "openssl external quic library interface"
And searching i remembered a statement of the OpenSSL blog[1]

  ...
  We have been offered a shim for interfacing other QUIC libraries
  on top of OpenSSL’s libraries based on one particular
  implementation’s requirements. It is not a contribution of QUIC
  support in itself. Rather, it is a bridge between an external
  implementation that is still evolving, and the OpenSSL library.

  After much consideration, we have collectively concluded
  ...

This ultimatively let to the OpenSSL QUIC implementation which
surely / likely / hopefully has a vivid future, as it releases
many programmers from the headache that it brings -- OpenSSL one
has de facto anyway.  Thanks for all this, again!!

So, what is actually meant with the "external quic library
interface", the blog does not give any indication, and i cannot
remember having heard anything on this list, or anywhere else?

Thank you in advance,
