Should we settle on one SSL implementation?

I really don't think its our job to decide which SSL implementation is 
used by the various different projects. Those projects have already 
chosen which implementation they prefer - It's not for us to decide. 
Also, Fedora aims to be as close to upstream as possible, so unless we 
can convince the project to change their preferred SSL implementation, 
I'm all for simply leaving it alone.

Compatibility layers and Fedora-only patchsets, all means added 
complexity and more Fedora-only bugs.

That said, we could pick our favorite implementation and use that, 
whenever a project supports multiple implementations (not sure if this 
is the case for any project).

Just my 5 cents
