Shawn WebbI asked the #BearSSL dude about him being a bottleneck and he danced around that question just like he did regarding the security of his library. I don't have a good feeling about this.
Marcin Cieślak@lattera if it apparently works for Bernstein...?
Ollivier Robert 🇺🇦😷🌈@lattera I don't but I've known him and his crypto work for the last 20 years, so I'm can't be objective about that.
@Keltounet Yeah. I think my problem is that he's unwilling to delegate. Everything must go through him and him alone. And he'll rewrite anything you send him.
If he suddenly disappears or becomes disinterested or otherwise unavailable, so does his project.
@Keltounet He has very ambitious and great goals. I would happily welcome the death of #OpenSSL. But to be able to scale to the needs of #FreeBSD and its downstream projects, he needs to be _much_ more flexible.
And, he needs to understand that he's human and there's likely to be vulnerabilities within his code.
