Honestly the number of TLS library implementations is growing a bit too much for my taste. so far the playing field is

boringssl: Googles pet TLS implementation forked from openssl. Google has been a member of the US PRISM program since 2009

Mesalink: Baidus pet TLS implementation. Baidu is beholden to the Chinese government.

openssl: Patched and functional TLS implementation. Open source and sponsored by --but not controlled by-- many government organizations.

libressl: functional fork of OpenSSL.

What is anyones impetus to switch?
