I'd to disagree. Besides the lack of testing (openssl is stable, or do
we begin to say feature a is not and feature b is beta but everything
else is stable?), the nightmare about what is available in which
version is really not what we should do.
php-next will be in a year, openssl can be released in pecl as well.
There are many requests supporting this idea, incl. from <5.5 users,
incl. 5.3.
