Hi there,

This particular hard requirement (libcurl) affects the communication channel which is different than causing the code to fail to run at all. So the question is do the new libcurl requirements immediately break existing systems that are not yet updated with new libcurl functionality. ...

Sorry, I thought I'd explained in an earlier post.  I'm using libcurl v7.38.
So that I didn't need to update libcurl to v7.45 for clamonacc, I disabled it:

8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ curl -V
curl 7.38.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.38.0 OpenSSL[...snip,snip...]
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ head -7 ~/src/net/mail/clamav-devel-dev-0.102/config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by ClamAV configure 0.102.0-rc, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --disable-clamonacc
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ps axufwww | grep freshclam | grep -v grep

It is kind of a big deal to update a widely used library and creates
knock-on problems from ripple effect for production systems subject
to strong configuration management policies.

Not to mention publishing 0.102 with changes from 0.102rc which break it.
