That's certainly not the intent here. The project is changing direction in a big way. Collaborating with others on the crypto API will be an important part of that. Announcing the change in direction, those intentions, a rationale on why it will be okay, and inviting collaboration is a responsible thing to do at the earliest opportunity. Better to announce intent early rather than surprise people or deter potential collaborators by keeping plans secret. Jason
