Comment (by cal@…):

 Keep in mind that bundling an SSL library implies that we will release at
 least as often as this SSL library to fix any security problems with it.
 Personally, I'm not prepared to do that, and we should just fall back to
 non-SSL connections on systems that do not support modern SSL.

 I doubt that we have the manpower to rescue platforms that Apple has
 abandoned. At some point we'll just have to admit that the system is no
 longer usable due to issues such as these.
