Hi,

This is a quick mail to ask: do we have any (serious) users of PyPy on OpenBSD?

I ask because:
 - It's currently marked broken.
 - It currently targets Python2.
 - Historically it breaks regularly due to libressl flux and causes tb@ hassle.
 - It BUILD_DEPENDS lang/python/2.7 (and probably always will).

I had a half-working port of pypy3 from before execonly was introduced. I'm
also aware that something stopped the old pypy2 port from building recently,
even with `USE_NOEXECONLY` set. Maybe that's not an issue with pypy3, I don't
know.

So, is anyone using it? Or is it time to let it go? If they are, I might be
motivated to work on it...

[Don't let my doom and gloom detract from PyPy's achievements. It's an
impressive piece of software, just it's awkward to maintain a port for]
