Can you please reference discussion with the openssl folks?

I didn't try to reach them myself yet, as I'm not very involved with
openssl development.

If we do this, we should add the patch to the source package and build
two binary packages, one with the patch and one without. Then we built
the wpasupplicant package against the patched one.

This means a giant maintanence overhead which I'm not willing to support
unless you can clearly point to conversations with upstream that show
with what reasons they reject that patch.

I'm as well online in an enterprise environment without needing that
patch. don't overexaggerate.
