Comment (by jerryyhom):

 More than a week has passed without objection.  I quickly re-read the
 history of comments and wonder if anyone still has objections?  There were
 passionate arguments 3-6 years ago, but my feeling is that the discussion
 veered off on a subtle tangent and missed the point.  My understanding is
 that bundling curl will allow macports on older systems to use modern
 ssl/tls.  If I am missing the point, kindly share your knowledge. :)

 Otherwise, I think this issue is mostly beneficial for macports and a
 shame that it has languished for six years.  Most of the work has already
 been prototyped.  Consider the time savings by those users working around
 the limitations.  Do we need consensus or a willing macports base
 developer with time?  How else can this issue be nudged forward?
