I believe @sgallagher from the Fedora Modularity group also was interested in this... 

Snippet from `#rpm.org` conversation back in October requesting it:
```
[Monday, October 17, 2016] [12:54:05 PM EDT] <sgallagh> ffesti: I know this is going to be a controversial question, but how hard would it be to switch RPM from using Mozilla NSS to using OpenSSL instead?
[Monday, October 17, 2016] [12:54:42 PM EDT] <ffesti>   well, easy
[Monday, October 17, 2016] [12:54:43 PM EDT] <sgallagh> RPM is actually the only package in the current vision of the Base Runtime module in Fedora that pulls in NSS. It would be awesome if we could eliminate one of the crypto libraries.
[Monday, October 17, 2016] [12:54:58 PM EDT] <sgallagh> Oh?
[Monday, October 17, 2016] [12:55:01 PM EDT] <ffesti>   if someone can implement the backend in ssl
[Monday, October 17, 2016] [12:55:34 PM EDT] <sgallagh> ffesti: What would that entail?
[Monday, October 17, 2016] [12:56:01 PM EDT] <ffesti>   see rpmio/digest*
```
