Somebody else may be better informed, but I thought that there was a concern with having both libressl and openssl linked into two libraries that are in turn linked to by something else (causing a symbol collision), and the USE flag was necessary to switch between the two implementations since they aren't virtualized. If we've solved that problem in some other way then by all means say so. However, I thought this was the main tradeoff in letting it use the same soname. -- Rich
