It remains to be seen which of LibreSSL vs a freshly funded OpenSSL
ends up being the better alternative.

If it comes to that, porting LibreSSL to FreeBSD ought to be quick
work; it should be reasonably stand-alone code, and they're working to
remove as many as possible of the weird/old/incompatible bits. It's
not like our and their libc are massively different either, so ...
cautiously optimistic that it'll be a one-day job to get it compiling
on FreeBSD by the time they feel "done". :)
