acme-client-openbsd? But given that this is a stupid name, and given
that
https://www.metachris.com/2015/12/comparison-of-10-acme-lets-encrypt-clients/
does not list a program with this name, may we should stick with the
official name.

I'm sorry, no offence meant! I only wanted do express my doubt about
using C if other implementations are available. (I just had a look at
the source, which did not make me more confident in this piece of
software; as far as can see they implement a a http-client from stretch
and include a json-parse instead of linking one.) I also know, OpenBSD
delivers good software.
It's not our job to decide what software a sysadmin should install. It's
the sysadmin's responsibility. Our job as distribution-builders is to
provide software to the sysadmin.
