Daniel Stenberg ☛ Carving out msh3
What backends that curl supports varies over time (and platform). We appreciate adding support for more backends and to let users decide which ones to use, as this allows us to approach it with a survival of the fittest attitude. What does not work in the long run or what isn’t actually used, we can deprecate and remove again. Ideally this helps us select the better ones for the future.
