How would you feel about a switch to one of the forks, such as BoringSSL or LibreSSL?

Sorry, I'm not in support of switching from OpenSSL to BoringSSL or LibreSSL as the default.

On a fairly regular basis, I use alot of the weirder things that I don't think BoringSSL or LibreSSL support.

For example, I was working on iOS profile stuff that called on OpenSSL's S/MIME enveloping functionality to make signed/encrypted profiles.
