I think we should go with what the system provides. Apple abandoned 
OpenSSL years ago. It's still shipping with the operating system but if 
you're using Apple's APIs you're not using OpenSSL, as far as I know. 
Several BSD variants and Alpine Linux [1] are using LibreSSL, a fork of 
OpenSSL.

Blindly going with only OpenSSL is not a good idea.
