--- Comment #22 from Charlie Li <vish...@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to Li-Wen Hsu from comment #16)
Anyone who sets legacy for the cryptography DEFAULT_VERSIONS is a consumer.
While not visible on say FreshPorts or anything that tracks the default
DEFAULT_VERSIONS, you still have to account for those cases.

A separate PyOpenSSL-legacy port is not feasible or in users' best interest in
any case, since it would involve not only a new port, but possibly even an
additional DEFAULT_VERSIONS knob. Such would only cause more confusion for
users, who should not need to closely track cryptography and PyOpenSSL's
development, to figure out which combination works with what. There is no API
compatibility guarantee between different versions of the two packages, and
because the two packages do not sync development or releases between
themselves, some contention in this area has and will continue to happen. Hence
why the best approach is to provide both 21.0.0 and whatever the current
version is/becomes in the same port, gated on the DEFAULT_VERSIONS setting.
