I agree with the proposal to sunset LibreSSL. Supporting it benefits very few users due to how non-universal the support of this option is. I see it as entirely sensible choice on apps' upstreams part to not collaborate on libressl support, motivation being focusing on more typical user setups.
But I have one loosely related question. About USE=bindist of openssl & openssh. My impression is that when you spin up a new Gentoo setup from stage3, very early on you are typically forced by situations to switch off USE=bindist for openssl and openssh. I conclude that one can't redistribute more elaborate system images and binpkgs because of this. However there's no `bindist` flag and therefore no such situation with libressl package. I never did good research of why this is so, so I am still wondering: what does that mean in practice? Does this mean libressl has some advantage for binary redistributability of elaborate system images and binary packages?
