How is a library you depend on not your core business? If they don't support things you want, then this sounds like your problem.


The SSL library is nobody's core business, yet every business depends on it. Most libraries are just infrastructure, way down, that we build stuff on. Core business has a specific meaning:

> the business activity that is main source of a company's profits and success

Maintaining libraries is not the core business of those that use those libraries, most of the time. That's why people use libraries.
