Regarding engines libressl doesn't handle that. And in openssl we just remove the tool with that option - arguably we can do the same with libressl, but then other people might chime in for adding that same option to some other $package and we'd get an option overload. Hence i found the opportunity a good one for cleaning up. Regards.
