I would like to see public discussion about this, especially in the
light of the ssl module improvements in Python 3.2. It is not obvious
that duplicate APIs in the stdlib are a good idea, especially when they
are not compatible with each other. It also means that the current
pyOpenSSL maintainer (Jean-Paul) should agree to do maintenance directly
in the stdlib rather than in a separate repo.

This sounds a bit ridiculous. Why not add the crypto routines directly
to the stdlib?
