I think from there he will contibue with SVN, which is the last think preventing true self hosting. OpenSSL will probably come as a part of that. In any case, I would be pretty surprised if any developer here was against including OpenSSL and SSH and so on in the eventual first release. So I wouldn't worry. Best regards, -Stephan
