OpenBSD did. Sounds like all the cruft and flake they are taking off
had meaning. Does it still?

I'm not sure I understand the question, are you saying that libressl
took out key features found in openssl and isn't as good as an
implementation?

I’m not sure security is a world where you want to apply the suckless
philosophy of arbitrary lines of code. I think their obsession with
minimalism isn’t really very useful. Some problems do take more lines
of code to solve. Some take less.
