Hi Kyle

I agree. This topic came up briefly at our recent OpenSSL team meeting
in Dusseldorf. I think there was a strong consensus within the team to
create a new name (probably with SSLv23_method #defined to point to
the new name). The name TLS_method has been proposed. This would be
from 1.1.0 onwards (its too late for 1.0.2)
