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.
