 That seems like a very much less than ideal approach to maintenance.
 
 People will no doubt be running systems built from the NetBSD-3 branch
 in production for years yet to come, and for something as central to
 many security-related applications as OpenSSL is, it would seem
 important to keep it as up to date as possible in _all_ supported
 branches.
