Not done. Would it surprise you to learn that "all this rewrite talk"--which was merely one question--was simple curiosity? I did not realize that asking a question would be such a problem for you. I have seen different suggestions of crowdfunding an audit/rewrite and I have have no concept of the price tag for such complex projects.
What is so difficult to understand about someone being curious about the price tag for large crypto audits/development projects? I am sorry I do not have an xkcd comic to link to, hopefully I can explain this to you without pretty pictures: I am not asking about the price tag because of any specific software development project. I am asking because I am merely curious what the price tag would be. I have seen various discussions mentioning audits and rewrites as if everyone knew what the cost would be. I do not know what the price tag would be, and given the lack of genuine responses it seems a lot of people do not have any idea what the price tag would be.
Ok, I understand why you proposed this. But what's hard to understand is why you are taking a discussion of rational alternatives to your proposal with such... angst? negativity? Not sure what you're feeling.
Consider the converse situation. You are proposing a rational alternative to continuing with OpenSSL as it is. That's a reasonable contribution to a discussion and it is not taken as an attack against OpenSSL.
This is just a philosopher's discussion on a place called Hacker News in the middle of a work day. :)
By "all this rewrite talk," I meant the article, your comment, and several other comments in this thread together. What about my comment indicated that your question was a problem for me?
