Comment (by cculianu):

 Also on a practical note -- apparently Python still thinks the hasher
 exists even when re-built against the latest openssl3 from MacPorts.

 So practically speaking enabling it will be the shortest route to not
 having Python erroneously believe it has the algorithm (see my comment
 above where it's in `hashlib.algorithms_available`)... only to have it
 fail when you try to use it!

 Not that this is a strong argument in and of itself -- but like I said in
 my previous comment: I do think not re-enabling this hasher will lead to a
 lot of unhappiness: there is guaranteed to be a ton of code out there that
 depends on it.  It's always been there -- since OpenSSL 1.0.  Having it
 disappear is guaranteed breakage for tons of software out there....

 I humbly ask again: Please reconsider this position.
