Yeah.  A bunch of users of Photon are VMware (or you could say
Broadcom) product appliances, and I'd suspect that quite a lot of them
rely on Photon 3 for their base OS image.  Upgrading that stuff is not
easy work in my experience because they need to cope with a bunch of
embedded services.

Yeah, I guess so.  At least that seems like the safest conclusion
currently here.  The build-time check on X509_get_signature_info()
would still be required.

I'd love being able to rip out the internal locking logic currently in
libpq as LibreSSL has traces of CRYPTO_lock(), as far as I've checked,
and we rely on its existence.
