This won't happen as long as OpenSSL (or libressl) is popular.

Luckily, libressl is being discontinued in favor of libtls, that has a saner interface. Or, better, if I understood the strategy correctly, libressl is being transformed into a wrapper of libtls, with frozen functionality until people stop using it.

libtls is part of libressl: http://www.libressl.org/

> LibreSSL is composed of four parts:

> The openssl(1) utility, which provides tools for managing keys, certificates, etc. > libcrypto: a library of cryptography fundamentals > libssl: a TLS library, backwards-compatible with OpenSSL > libtls: a new TLS library, designed to make it easier to write foolproof applications
