Meaning more man power and hopefully less bugs. It remains to be seen which of LibreSSL vs a freshly funded OpenSSL ends up being the better alternative. If it comes to that, porting LibreSSL to FreeBSD ought to be quick work; it should be reasonably stand-alone code, and they're working to remove as many as possible of the weird/old/incompatible bits. It's not like our and their libc are massively different either, so ... cautiously optimistic that it'll be a one-day job to get it compiling on FreeBSD by the time they feel "done". :) -- Daniel Nebdal
