Every day, Ted Unangst is vindicated more and more[1] for his work forking OpenSSL. If you do a little digging, you'll see that there was no real technical reason why your distro of choice has abandoned implementing LibreSSL[2][3], or just never implemented it at all[4].

Totally organic. 1. https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/analysis-of-openssl-freelis... 2. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LibreSSL 3. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/20935 4. https://lwn.net/Articles/841664/ 5. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=139698531410614&w=2 6. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=139698608410938&w=2
