    Add warning that OpenSSL backend isn't ready for Linux distros
    
    There are hacks in half the tests where this backend doesn't return the
    expected error code or doesn't work as expected. But Arch Linux has
    enabled it for some reason. Warn distros.
    
    I do hope to enable this backend by default in the future. For now, it's
    not there yet.
