I have a hunch that LibreSSL doesn't get as many new features and fixes 
as OpenSSH because it's not as popular. This makes me wonder: Why is 
LibreSSL better than OpenSSL?

>> Hello,
>>
>> Here's a (very simple) patch for net/tor-0.4.8.19, which was released a few days ago.
>>
>> This new version ships with an important bug fix for Tor relays built with LibreSSL. Basically, with the previous release, those relays were unreachable because of a TLS error.
>>
>> I could reproduce this bug myself by launching a Tor bridge, and I can confirm this is fixed in 0.4.8.19 (using the latest Tor browser, which is not in ports yet, on different platforms).
>>
>> Changelog: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/raw/release-0.4.8/ReleaseNotes
>>
>> I know that ports are locked down right now, but IMHO this issue is important enough (basically you cannot run a relay on OpenBSD using the current package) to be worth an update anyway. But I'm not the one making the decision ;-)
>>
>> Best regards.
