Thanks for reaching out. From a purely architecture bootstrap centric
view, I approve your request. brotli has few dependencies and needs to
be built during architecture bootstrap already for curl and freetype. It
can be built before openssl at no extra effort.

I make no claims about other aspects of the proposed change.

Helmut
