This is more for ports@ than security@, but isn't mixing of 2 different versions potentially problematic? I have noticed one port that links against base, but uses libcurl which links against ports, so there is a version conflict there right away. I'd expect that some magic would need to be done in the bsd.ports.Mk files, as you can't necessarily tell from just scanning the port template. > Also, note that this is not bashing on OpenSSL: given their new significant funding, I would certainly expect the OpenSSL project to be finding-and-fixing Heartbleed-level bugs repeatedly in the coming years. It is basically impossible to fix such a bug without bad actors being able to determine and exploit some of the fixes in unpatched systems. Ditto. My concern is more general, and aligned to the POLA principle!
