Ack - looks like I posted something quite similar. Maybe Theo is thinking only about the "OpenBSD community".

  Yes. This is an OpenBSD fork. It will run on OpenBSD. That said, later on folks can create compatibility layers (like OpenSSH) to make it work elsewhere. It's better to keep that code outside the core anyway.

    I don't necessarily disagree with the changes, overall. I think there would be a benefit from both companies and projects that leverage OpenSSL to have contributed back to it both in terms of $ as well as change sets to make it better instead of another fork of a library. (I realize the issues previously expressed about the state of change within the OpenSSL project, as well as the lack of general give back from the many people that use it).

      I'm finding the unjustified down voting of the benefits of a FIPS compliant mode interesting. I, personally, don't really care. So open question - Those down voting, have you actually dealt with getting a product through government certification? Specifically in security would be more useful.

        Don't worry HN turned into this down voting community where if your opinion does not meet with what people want to see you get down voted. It is the best way to get rid of different views so after a while just those guys hang around who's view is the same. RIP HN
