Comment (by raimue):

 Is the libressl update ABI incompatible? Or what kind of breakage do we
 expect?

 I do not think solving #54744 first would help much with the update. Even
 if openssl and libressl would coexist, and we had +openssl and +libressl
 variants in all ports, it would still be required to rev-bump dependents
 for ABI incompatible changes.

 On ABI incompatible updates, we are usually rev-bumping dependents that
 use it by default. If people chose to install a non-default port to
 fulfill a dependency, we have no better solution to offer than to live
 with the occasional brokenness. If rev-upgrade can detect the
 incompatibility by examining the libraries (failing at load, not at
 runtime), then it will automatically rebuild the broken ports locally.
