Hi Pablo,

Sorry, but I'm not comfortable with these patches for 18.11.

For the AES ones, it looks like it is removing support for <0.50? I'm
also not clear if it's changing the default or not. The patches are
very intrusive too. My concern is that it might break backwards
compatibility and introduce regressions.

Aren't these the ones we discussed offline? If so, Luca and I both
commented that this will break build for existing users and is not a
backwards compatible change that could be put on stable branches.
