 Replying to [comment:91 jerryyhom]:
 > I guess the issue is whether someone is willing to put in the
 time/effort to link macports base with a modern curl,

 A good amount of that time/effort was already put in in comment:48 though
 I had some follow-ups about changes I would have liked to see.

 > 1.  Ken (or others), you have manually compiled with a modern curl for
 several years.  On old systems, what happens with expired certificates?
 Do you update them?

 Ken uses a separate MacPorts prefix to install a bootstrap copy of curl,
 which would use the certificates from the curl-ca-bundle port, which gets
 updated often. Ken would just have to `selfupdate` and `upgrade outdated`
 periodically in that bootstrap MacPorts prefix to receive those updates.
