It's a fork of swiss-army chainsaw juggling with training wheels. It is a slowly-dying project because it's not keeping up and distros are dropping it. It's not a viable alternative.

And yet, it's managed to avoid many of the OpenSSL CVEs.

It's not a "viable alternative" because nobody cares enough to test their code against it.
