A request, maybe OT. The NonStop platform does broadly deploy Apache but do use OpenSSL. I understand that OpenSSL does not officially support the HPE NonStop NSE/NSX platforms - but it is used on the platform through my team's port, which I currently support, and through other ports as well. Added a dependency to Apache is likely to dead-end the project for us depending on the depth of the dependency, if I understand where this is going (hoping I am wrong).

With respect,
Randall
