Pen a good answer to the question of "Why?" about cryptography

[hynek]

Just a quick thing I don’t want to be forgotten: PyOpenSSL is fine but offers little introspection hence hard to write tests against software that uses it.

I don't think we should be focusing on the bad of other libraries at all, at least not in name. We have benefits so lets focus on what we do better, not what they do wrong. PyOpenSSL plans to use us afaik so obviously this work is useful to them as well!

[hynek]

I don't want us to call out pyopenssl, I want us to point out the better testability and I'm giving context where I come from.

this is btw a subtopic of #5, let’s close this and elaborate on it there?

[dstufft]

Ah so it is. That's what I get for writing tickets instead of reading tickets.
