The workaround committed to tor-0.4.8.19 for this issue is for the
*client side* i.e. the machine running OpenSSL 3.5 which is unable
to connect to those relays running current libressl.

i.e. updating tor on the OpenBSD side in ports would not help.

It is too late to get into 7.8-release packages at this point anyway.

The actual *fix* (as opposed to workaround) will be in libressl on the
server side. There is an initial fix but it is not completely ready yet
so I believe that would most likely be post-release.
