      On the master 1f655b864f280593dd1f0367e66ee9a2c6bb0f44 , I see the ffi gem is used in the mongo gem.

      $ grep -r "'ffi'" lib/ | grep require
lib/mongo/crypt/binary.rb:require 'ffi'
lib/mongo/crypt/status.rb:require 'ffi'
lib/mongo/crypt/handle.rb:require 'ffi'
lib/mongo/crypt/binding.rb:require 'ffi'

      Why do not we add ffi to mongo.gemspec as a runtime dependency?
      What is the use case of the mongo Ruby driver to require ffi gem?
