LibreSSL removed NPN support seven years ago.

I wonder how many memory leaks it'll take for OpenSSL to finally get their act together or for major projects to drop it entirely.

I feel like a lot of projects did drop OpenSSL post-Heartbleed and then went back to OpenSSL some years later.

I know Gentoo did https://bugs.gentoo.org/762847

Python 3.10 did https://peps.python.org/pep-0644/

Void Linux did https://voidlinux.org/news/2021/02/OpenSSL.html

Etc.

Seems like a lot of that was due to OpenSSL breaking API compat that LibreSSL promised not to break though.
