As I recall, the working principle of the LibreSSL guys is to remove
everything that can't be understood quickly, to reduce the code base to
the minimum required to support the basic features they want, and still
be sure that there are little or no security holes. In a later stage
their intention is to re-add interesting features as they have time to
audit the code.
