openssl             system    3       system     openssl

system - default priority; (comes from packages)
vendor - higher priority than system; comes from packages
local - higher priority than vendor; set by administrator

Why is one "vendor" and one "system"?  What does that imply?

See above.  It implies that 1.0 is of higher priority.

Thanks for the explanation Marcel!  That helps a bunch.

How
can I tell if any of my system's mediators are stuck in a non-default
state?

pkg mediator | grep local

So it is similar to 'pkg facet', I just didn't have any examples of
'local' on my system to discover that.

Thanks again,

Tim
