They've already done massive amounts of work already - adding missing checks, documenting a metric ton of magic numbers, removing VMS support, fixing year 2038 bugs, removing insecure cypher support, removing less secure replacements for secure OS inbuilts, unused code, and more, see http://opensslrampage.org.

On a side note, I was really hoping for the name to be OpenTLS (consistent with OpenBSD and OpenSSH, which are also OpenBSD maintained projects) or ValhallaTLS




OpenTLS was already taken: http://www.opentls.org/ -- it's dead, but still taken.


Was all that rejected by the OpenSSL team though?
