 Replying to [comment:13 ryandesign@…]:
 > I don't understand why you would say that. The problem right now is
 caused by older systems have an old SSL implementation. The proposed fix
 is to provide a newer SSL implementation in MacPorts. That fixes the
 problem.

 Yes, that fixes the problem ''in MacPorts'', but users on these platforms
 will continue to experience the same problems with other services that use
 TLS. So we can't fix the problem completely, but would still bundle an SSL
 library on platforms that already ship one that's perfectly fine.

 I agree with devans here, we should provide instructions, warn users about
 the caveats and have them compile MacPorts against MacPorts curl.
