9 So, libressl is really nowhere near ready for prime time or even late
10 night TV (perhaps the day time talk shows, but that is a stretch given
11 the PRNG situation). I think preparing a virtual and updating
12 dependent ebuilds for the explosion of replacements is grand, however
13 we should make it _very_ clear to everyone that issues exist that make
14 libressl unsafe for anything other than play time.
