OMI (libmi.so or libmi.dylib) cannot be support for the following reasons:
- OMI will not fix PowerShell bugs meaning PowerShell cannot offer any level of support
- Known and unknown security issues will not be fixed
- Know security issues are mitigated with warning in the PowerShell code
- Known and unknown security issues will not be fixed
- OMI does not load OpenSSL correctly causing segfaults
Here you can see that OMI has the expectation that OpenSSL is carried around with the package.
This is a different expectation than .NET leading to segfaults when conflicting depenecies are loaded.
