> LibreSSL has historically been vulnerable to less of the bugs than OpenSSL and, for a long time, none of the sev:high bugs.

You say this like LibreSSL has been out for a long time. It's just barely crossed it's 2 year mark... and for most of it's life, it's difficult to call it "production ready".

Coupled with its low adoption rate (really only some select BSD's, and some adventurous linux folks), it's not surprising more vulnerabilities haven't been discovered (yet).

The OpenBSD folks do good work, but let's not pretend they are infallible.
