You mean building our web security infrastructure on a "design by committee" kitchen sink protocol with a million config options was a bad idea?
I'm always surprised at the lack of simplicity in FOSS projects. Just because its easy to add a feature or option, doesn't mean it should be done. Sane defaults, that yes will sometimes break legacy systems, makes sense. Moving on to removing old features, that yes will break legacy systems, makes sense. Instead, there's this "who moved my cheese" mentality that is really ugly.
The top voted comments in HN are just most obscure blog postings of questionable validity claiming "wait wait guise, openssl is fine, its admins that suck because of this super obscure config kinda sorta fixes this and they should be using it!" These blog postings are symptoms of the real problem. I shouldn't have to reconfigure my entire SSL infrastructure every couple months.
