Yes, someone(tm) should do that! Early to catch fallout quickly, but
we'd need commitment from the pkgsrc team to make pkgsrc usefull with
that. I don't think we need to sequence this, thing will follow naturally
from people hitting more fallout.

We can't do that. Instead, at some point (probably a bit past the two
years 1.1 will still receive updates) we will have to bite and switch
netbsd-9 over to pkgsrc based openssl.

It is a pitty that security projects like openssl don't care for ABI
compatibility.
