Correct. We have had conversations with MySQL AB about granting the 
OpenSSL exception as we do (which would eliminate this problem and allow 
the MySQL modules to move back to the main Asterisk codebase), but so 
far they have not done so.

Probably not a great deal of work; many projects seem to be able to make 
that available as an option. If this is going to happen, it needs to get 
done soon, before the SIP over TLS codes makes it into tree, or the 
transition will be much more work :-)
