Except two things: 1. I'm trying to get rid of mcrypt, bringing the net change of cryptography libraries to maintain to 0, but still improving the cryptography library availability significantly. 2. I'm willing to maintain it, so you're gaining manpower with this change. I'd argue that, strategically, what I've proposed across several RFCs is superior to maintaining the status quo.
