I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is: 1. People submitting bad patches upstream (but I guess that's inevitable). 2. Maintaining downstream patches forever. 3. Being blocked by libressl patches no longer applying. I wouldn't mind keeping LibreSSL if it was possible to actually maintain it without causing these problems. But I don't think it's possible to do that. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
