Hummm... Hou may be right : the way it is expressed *may* lead an inattentive reader to deduce that we ship OpenSSL. ISTR that I wrote this phrase ; what I meant was "if we happened to ship OpenSSL, that would be dubious". I thought that this was unambiguously a contrafactual ; your reaction proves that it is not (possible gallicism...). How would you phrase that ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
