Thanks for the notification about your feature freeze.  I do understand that it may take some time to get CyaSSL rolled into OE-Core, and I think you and Saul's suggestion of starting with a layer on GitHub is a good first step.  From there, maybe we can explore some of the interesting applications you have in mind.
