I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
1. People submitting bad patches upstream (but I guess that's |
| 19 |
inevitable). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
2. Maintaining downstream patches forever. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
3. Being blocked by libressl patches no longer applying. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I wouldn't mind keeping LibreSSL if it was possible to actually |
| 26 |
maintain it without causing these problems. But I don't think it's |
| 27 |
possible to do that. |
