By defaulting to libressl here, you guarantee that users who install this port with the https variant first will get libressl, and if they then install any other port that depends on *ssl, the binaries they receive will be broken and will need to be recompiled from source.

Oh. So what's the plan? The libtls port gets added, libtls.dylib gets removed from the libressl port, and the libressl port then depends on the libtls port? And then openntpd also depends on libtls instead of libressl?
