If none of the big tech companies will step up to adopt openssl, we should put it down, like in a real pet shelter.

If a project becomes inactive, Apache puts it into the Attic and development ceases.

I'm sitting here waiting for you to realize "unsecure" is not a word.

If Oracle gets its way, code smells will be copyrightable as well.
