That's the opposite of what happened with TLS.
shoddydoordesk OP
Surely you mustn't be referring to OpenSSL, which was forked multiple times — under duress — to maintain the safety and security of the web.

TLS != OpenSSL.

I don't concede the rest of your comment, but we don't reach it, because I wasn't making a point about OpenSSL.

If OpenSSL were dispoed of,^1 then where would that leave "TLS"

1. For example if software stopped linking to OpenSSL libraries instead of alternatives

"OpenSSL" (the library as well as the binary) is quite "bloated" compared to WolfSSL, LibreSSL, BoringSSL, etc.

If the name "TLS" signifies something meaningful then why do the majority of TLS-implementing projects still include "SSL" in their name
