Thanks for pointing this out, redmine issues are preferred since it's
easier to keep track of them for a longer period of time.

Thank you Charlie! Things are settling down to normal again after RubyConf
and I'm trying to take care of as much as I can get done before 2.0.0 now.
I saw the issues about integrating JRuby OpenSSL tests, and I agree it's
the right thing to do. I'll run them with CRuby, see where things differ
and I will probably get back to you guys when it comes to sorting out these
differences.

SNI is an attractive feature, the only problem that I face now is that the
official feature freeze is already effective. I discussed this with nahi at
RubyConf, it might be possible to make an exception for OpenSSL, since it's
an extension. So it might be possible to implement new features if we
consider them important! I will ask if it's possible in the corresponding
thread.
