    This is a release blocker if you ask me.

    Nginx is not going to support the OpenSSL 1.1.1 feature: SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA as it is classified by the Nginx team as hack.

    Also the Nginx patch from carter.li won't work.
    So you have to look further on the OpenSSL area.

    I could rebuild the SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA OpenSSL 1.1 patch.
    But then there must be enough enthusiasm for it.
