Huh?  The fix is to actually _have_ RSA in there.

Well, you have to realize that we all have a responsibility to not break
things.  Committing a library with significant missing functionality,
having the same name as a preceding port _with_ that functionality, is
very bad.  It breaks our ports.  I know you're the maintainer, but you
have to really think about the responsibility of keeping things working.

I'm sorry if it offended you that I backed out your hard work; it is
quite necessary, while the library is still broken (defined in the
"bad" definition in the paragraph above.)
