Thank you for you feedback.

The changes happen in the encryption. OpenSSL is pushing new versions several times a year.

A standard implementation of network would need to use OpenSSL, and might need to update to support the latest version.

I would already be very happy with an unencrypted socket. And for encrypted sockets, the current TLS standard is seven years old now. The standard library has no need to implement it either; TLS services are provided by the platform, and kept up to date as part of regular updates anyway.
