1 If it has any weight:
2 I think I was the first person to build Gentoo with LibreSSL. I support

5 I believe pretty much everything that LibreSSL originally was
6 (consistent codingstyle, cleanup of obsolete/dead code etc.) has
7 happened in OpenSSL these days. It's more that there's some myth around
8 LibreSSL from these early days (where the people behind it raised
9 back then valid criticism about OpenSSL) than any real value.
