Is there a Progress.ssl.dll dependency that is used by the .

We use local copies of the strongnamed-signed openclient assemblies on our build server so the .Net compiler can reference them as necessary.

I have questions about Progress.ssl.dll.

We are upgrading (11.3 to 11.7) and I noticed that we still have a Progress.ssl.dll lying around.  Is this needed anymore?  I cannot find it in the dotnet directory within the 11.7 installation (DLC).  I'm uncertain, but leaning towards the opinion that I can blow it away.  Here are my arguments FOR blowing it away and against:

FOR removal:

• Doesn't exist in the Progress DLC itself
• KB article dated 2015: https://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P159240
• Brian's expert opinion in forums: https://community.progress.com/community_groups/openedge_general/f/26/t/29586 

AGAINST removal:

• The latest and greatest openclient .Net documentation says it is one of the required components!!!

• Hard evidence from the community that the dll is still being loaded at runtime:

It doesn't seem like this is the type of question that should be answered by flipping a coin.  But maybe we can answer it with the democratic process.  Can someone please give me the tie-breaking vote, so I know whether to get rid of the dll or keep it around?

Thanks, David
