I guess that is due the fact that you dismiss arguments that are valid
reasons for others (incl. me) but apparently not sufficient for you,
like my situation where 'It works on all my systems, and switching would
mean work for me and at least a risk of downtimes'.
I understand that if security of OpenSSL is much better than LibreSSL (I
have also not seen 'proof' of this, just 'more users mean better
security per se', so I guess I should switch from Gentoo to Ubuntu for
my desktops and CentOS for my servers if I care about security), I
should switch back, but for me, not having to touch working systems is a
valid reason to keep the system around.
Since I can't contribute the work needed to keep it around, I'll have to
live with the consequences of whatever the devs decide. And I will. Just
don't expect me to pretend like you are doing me a favour. ;-)

Best,
