^ this! back in 2010, my business partner, marco peereboom, submitted a patch to openssl to add support for aes-xts. it was coded by joel sing, now a google employee and golang dev. they _didn't even respond to the mailing list email_ and after marco nagged for a reply the response was "we have a different plan for how to implement XTS" (i'm paraphrasing). _2 years later_, they added XTS support. the openssl dev team is not responsive, doesn't accept contributions and generally speaking suffers from "you're not an expert" syndrome. look how expertly they've managed their project!
