&gt; We knew, since the end of 2015, that this change was coming -- we were given 6 months time to get support for ALPN going, but by the current state of OpenSSL packages that was too little time.<p>This hints at part of the problem - simply not enough resources.  It&#x27;s not that OpenSSL folks are slow or lazy (absolutely far from it) - but rather they&#x27;ve got tons on their plate already.<p>One day (hopefully) corporations will recognize that everyone can benefit by helping open source (either providing resources or $funding).
