Is OpenSSL needed?

[user-simon]

I'm attempting to install vale-ls for Arch using the AUR package (which builds from source), but am getting an error that the native OpenSSL library is not installed on my system during linking. I assume this is from the openssl dependency for Unix systems:

https://github.com/errata-ai/vale-ls/blob/c438fa497b559b2e44da62a09753f5e58fc9909b/Cargo.toml#L30-L31

... but the project builds without this dependency, so is it actually used for anything? Could it be removed?

It is not used directly, but native-tls uses it (which is used by reqwest). I imagine this dependency is there to make sure that openssl is compiled with "vendored" feature via feature unification. Should be possible to make it into an optional, but enabled by default dependency...
