It looked like there were two main points.
The first was in fact these ciphers.
I don't think that's a good reason for including in Debian because it
looks like OpenSSL is interested in adding these ciphers long-term, and
that appears a much better strategy for us as a ddistribution.
However there are some other features from the ITP:
- Support NTLS (formal GM dual-certificate protocol) handshake processing, according to GB/T 38636-2020
TLCP
- QUIC API support
- Support delegated credentials, according to draft-ietf-tls-subcerts-10
I don't recognize NTLS
and presumably since draft-ietf-tls-subcerts is a working group draft it
will be possible to get into OpenSSL eventually.
