Portable is one thing, the availability and its maintenance burdon in
distributions an other. I do not think Fedora has any plans on including
LibreSSL and LibTLS in the near future. There even was an attempt to
only use GnuTLS (?) or OpenSSL because two implementations of such a
complex library is perceived as inefficient.

I'd prefer to stick to the mainstream libraries, at least for now.
