The problem (one of them, anyway) is that TLS can improve network
traffic security, but at the expense of server security.  Depending on
the situation, a person can actually have more security by not running
OpenSSL code.  That's a huge problem, but it's not related to OpenBSD.

Relevant PSA: OpenSSL and OpenBSD are totally unrelated projects.
Different people, different objectives, different formations.  Their
only connection is that the English word "open" is in both names.
