+ I read the news today oh boy<br>
+ About a silly man who made a change<br>
+ And though the hole was rather bad<br>
+ Well I just had to laugh<br>
+ I saw the code he wrote.<br>
+ <br>
+ BIO_snprintf with a cast..<br>
+ He didn't know the POSIX API had changed<br>
+ A crowd on slashdot stood and stared.<br>
+ They'd seen such code before<br>
+ Everyone was really sure<br>
+ It was from 1984..<br>
+ <br>
+ I saw a tweet today oh boy.<br>
+ The OpenBSD devs had just forked the code.<br>
+ And though the code was rather gross<br>
+ They held their nose and dove.<br>
+ Having read the code..<br>
+ I'd love to Ceeeeee Veeeeee Eeeeeee.<br>
+ <br>
+ Built up.. a sense of dread..<br>
+ IMPLEMENT_ASN1 macros in my head.<br>
+ Found a way down through 10 levels of hell<br>
+ And looking there, I noticed more to fix.<br>
+ #unifdef, and rewrite that<br>
+ cut this out, and hear it splat.<br>
+ Found my way upstairs and read hackernews<br>
+ whining about comic sans and CVS.<br>
+ <br>
+ Whiiiiiiinne whine whine....<br>
+ Whiiiine whinee.... Whine Whineee....<br>
+ whine.. They... Use Cee.. Vee Esss...<br>
+ <br>
+ I read the news today oh boy<br>
+ Four thousand holes in OpenSSL<br>
+ And though the holes were rather small<br>
+ They embargoed them all<br>
+ The priviledged get to patch them<br>
+ while the rest get no info, at all...<br>
+ I'd love to Ceeeeee Veeeeee Eeeeeee.<br>

+ We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
+ fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
+ "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
+ pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
+ many times in OpenBSD -- a decision is made by a few people to do
+ something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
+ like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
+ work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or
+ irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the
+ surreal going on around you can often make working on such projects
+ feel like you're in a bit of an altered reality..  Sort of like the
+ song. A number of us have had many years like this in the last 20.
