BS.

I'm with Simo here.  You've shot nettle, and decided you don't like
it that's fine... what about gcrypt?  I see nothing wrong with it so far?!

I'll also bring in the littany of crypto errors that have
made the press... For those who remember the Debian OpenSSL random number
generator error :(.  Heartbleed, etc... It all proves to me that when it
comes to that type of code, it is JUST dangerous.

I'm not saying we CAN'T do it.  I'm saying I'd rather have a full SMB3
stack instead.

I also think the world needs another crypto library like a fish
needs a bicycle.

My thoughts,
