I don't think that this is actually the case.

Also, it's worth noting that openssl does a lot more than just crypto.
It does all the ASN.1 and X.509 stuff too. The heartbleed thing wasn't a
crypto issue, it was a protocol implementation issue.

It's easy enough to write a bit of code that will do some crypto things.
It's hard to deal with all the extra stuff (protocol handling, avoiding
sidechannel attacks, avoiding standard attacks, etc.)

Robin.
