    TLS/SSL and crypto library

    I'll quote the section:

    "Given that the OpenSSL 3 migration had an outcome where our contingency plan came into effect, I believe it to be the most prudent course of action to evaluate all possible options before committing to trying the OpenSSL 3 migration again, such an evaluation would be required by the TSC anyway."

    The Alpine project operates independently from OpenSSL, so it's no surprise they published their own report to discuss their own timelines. I'm not sure I can attest to this being a "personal" reaction from my interpretation. Instead, this seems rather like the Alpine project's reaction to their own internal deadlines. Tossing out OpenSSL may appear flippant from a distance, but getting SSL correct for their own releases and finding projects that want to work alongside them (as LibreSSL is supposedly responsive towards doing) should be a priority if you're in charge of getting this work ticket over the line.

    Of course, the wording and general attitude towards OpenSSL developers can be interpreted however you want, but I don't see this as outright hostility or a personal reaction so much as "this ticket was left for over a month, and our project needs to make forward progress."
