"We were the first distribution to switch to LibreSSL by default, replacing OpenSSL."
I'm not seeing the wisdom in this. OpenSSL has problems so instead of fixing them incremenally we are going to leverage a complete replacement thus risk many histories repeating itself plus a bevy of new undiscovered issues that come with less mature/less utilized projects. I'm not sold on that.
