The X.509 code is in crypto, though.

Also, when I've had a use for libssl, I've usually wanted to use an
X.509 library other than OpenSSL's, for a variety of reasons. It would
be useful to remove all of libssl's dependencies on the X.509 code
during the time that the other compatibility-breaking changes are
being made.
