It's not about hesitation, it's about time constrains. Once again, the 
"if" works only one way: if any member of OpenSSL development team [by 
chance] in not familiar with any particular platform and report leaves 
more questions opened than answered, then report tends to remain 
unattended. Do not take chances and don't expect "can you elaborate" 
questions to be asked. Accompany report with solid argumentation and 
clear test-cases from the beginning. It's in your interest. A.
