"Happiness" is never a word that comes to mind while reading OpenVPN code :)

Even at our snail's pace, 2.7 may be out before we can break free of
OpenSSL 1, LibreSSL xyz etc. An option may be to require OpenSSL 3+ or
similar for external keys, or at least for management-external-key.

That feature is really used by only a few platforms (only Android for
now?). Although it's a nifty option that could potentially be leveraged to
remove pkcs11-helper, CNG etc out of OpenVPN core.
