I don't believe the plans are that solid.  There has just been one short
thread about the possibility.

Personally I'd rather not create new man sections just for OpenSSL.  I'd
rather have them in a separate directory ---- even if the OpenSSL
project does decide to use separate man sections.


The one thing I am strongly against is a prefix (e.g. `openssl_') for
these man pages.
