Comment (by artkiver):

 Thanks for chiming in Clemens!

 "Personally, I'd go for OpenSSL and drop LibreSSL support completely."

 Well, OK, but if I recall correctly, I think you once mentioned you get
 paid in your day job to work on OpenSSL? Not to disparage what Steve Jobs
 referred to as "vested interests" but I kind of expect that advocacy from
 you. ;)

 Similarly, Python's creator, Guido van Rossum is currently employed as a
 "Distinguished Engineer" at Microsoft as one of his two jobs.

 I'm not paid to work on any of this!

 I've never really liked Python for a lot of other reasons; but I swear I
 had built it in MacPorts against LibreSSL multiple times within the past
 year. Not just python312, but also python313-devel and earlier versions of
 Python too. So maybe this is something that changed upstream recently?

 Choice (d) is probably the "easiest" option for sure!

 Choices c and d will require more work from someone, but that someone
 probably isn't me.

 I was kind of hoping maybe there would be a way to refactor the "smarts"
 Clemens helpfully offered for rpki-client which I was unsuccessful at
 refactoring for Got, but that doesn't seem particularly plausible in this
 instance either, darn.

 Would it be beneficial to simplify the ldns Portfile in this instance?
