The "default" configration of OpenSSL FWIW doesn't use rsaref. :-) You have to go out of your way to arrange it and libRSAglue. -current's present behavior is to emulate the default non-rsaref configuratio of OpenSSL, but it still supports (harmlessly) using -lRSAglue and -lrsaref. I'm also looking forwards to another 6 months down the track when nobody in their right mind will use rsaref. I'd rather we got over the change now rather than having to change 4.x-stable mid-stream.
