Comment (by jeremyhu):

 Replying to [comment:6 jeremyhu]:
 > > BTW, what do we know about mixing OpenSSL and LibreSSL in the address
 space of a single application, provided that no data is passed between
 implementations? IOW, can a Qt5 application (say, QupZilla) that uses
 OpenSSL via Qt APIs also use non-Qt libraries built to use LibreSSL (say,
 libcurl), or is that just asking for trouble?

 Also, we'e been shipping macOS like this for years with libressl + OpenSSL
 and even longer with multiple versions of OpenSSL.
