Hi Luca.
Yes, the polarssl comment becomes redundant, since we can't support our 
current 1.2.x and we can't (easily) upgrade to 1.3.x, which i think 
would be pointless.
Newer openvpn can support 1.3.x but not newer, i know git master which 
is very much in a -dev state can do 2.x but i wouldn't pick that up lightly.
Regarding shairport-sync i don't know if it can work with newer 
versions, maybe it can do mbedtls directly now that it's been bumped.
Regards.
