On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 08:22:08AM -0500 I heard the voice of
Scot Hetzel, and lo! it spake thus:

That imputes rather more specific intent than I think is really called
for; it's just as easy to read as "didn't consider the case of
somebody on >= 10 wanting to use port openssl instead at all" rather
than "chose to disallow $PREV".  But either way, I think it makes my
point; it's a fringe-enough option that there are liable to be
landmines waiting.  And I'm confident that Murphy has me on
speed-dial, so they're sure to be in places I'm going to need on 5
minutes notice sometime.

Whereas is there _is_ no /usr/lib/lib{ssl,crypto}, it can't create a
messy conflict   8-}
