for historical documentation purposes, would you mention why you believe it
"makes more sense" to do this?

I am presuming, "because it will be easier to update certs on-demand as
needed", and/or "because more than one package can make use of it, even if
it doesnt technically use "openssl"
(such as GNUtls)
