The open source world is a bit bigger than "Linux", and not all the other
platforms supported by OpenVPN (none, to be precise) ship mbedTLS as part
of their OS distribution. Some do not even ship OpenSSL.
ports/pkgsrc/... are very clearly "3rd party components", and not
"part of the OS distribution". Gentoo ebuilds are something in between.
As much as we'd like to declare this a non-issue, pointing to the system
library exception will not help us solve the problem.
