The freeze for 2019.02 is going to happen at the end of January, I am
not sure this leaves us enough time to fix all the consequences of a
bump to OpenSSL 1.1.1.

However, since 2019.02 is going to be a LTS maintained for one year,
perhaps we want to have OpenSSL 1.1.1 in that LTS, knowing that it will
be maintained, while older OpenSSL versions might not. Is there any
information available on whether OpenSSL still maintains 1.0.x ? Peter,
what do you think ?
