The awesome avadacatavra is working on a plan right now to move us off of OpenSSL: https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/7888#issuecomment-2934...

TBH, it's been hard to prioritize work to fix OpenSSL issues when we all knew it was going away from the dependency list. However, I don't think anybody anticipated the scope of work required to get there :-)

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I understand, but then why bundle it for MacOS & Windows, and not Linux ? Couldn't they, too, wait for OpenSSL to go away ?

Note that I fully support using a clean rust-based TLS implementation. Given how young servo is, it will have time to mature before Servo becomes widely-deployed. I just think this is an orthogonal problem.

PS: thanks for taking the time to answer here and keep up the good work !
