Possibly (dunno). But they refer to that on slide 7:

    -  We also introduced new safer APIs like reallocarray()
    -  I wrote a big diff for nginx to adopt reallocarray() other such techniques
    -  And it got rejected.

Is reallocarray() BSD-specific? That might explain it.

It's OpenBSD specific. But it's also just 10 lines of portable C that are permissively licensed and can be added to any project without problems. It's even in a separate source file for this very purpose [1]

I like that. I might even swipe it for my own projects.
