From my perspective, we can’t keep an OpenSSL-like API and use Windows platform libraries (we could do a requests-like API easily enough, but even urllib3 is painfully low-level).
We have to continue shipping our own copy of OpenSSL on Windows. Nothing to negotiate here except whether OpenSSL releases should trigger a Python release, and I think that decision can stay with the RM.
3.7 will no longer use static linking. We can offer out-of-bounds updates of the OpenSSL DLLs. And by "we", I'm talking about you. :)
