Should we really add OpenSSL as a dependency to fix a few very specific issues?

I'm not saying that I'm against the proposal, but we should really weigh the pros against the cons. The main "con" is: adding an extra dependency which might make it even harder for ordinary users to compile Sage from source.

99% of Sage users will probably never need OpenSSL within Sage. If you break something for 2% of users while fixing something for 1% of users, that is a net loss of 1%.
