I agreed. We should merge this after Ruby 2.4.0 release.
It's enough for our decision. |

They are no longer receiving security updates from the OpenSSL development team since 2015-12. We have kept basic compatibility until now because RHEL 5 still uses an (heavily modified) OpenSSL 0.9.8e. The RHEL 5 will reach EOL on 2017-03, thus it is now safe to assume nobody is still using such old versions of OpenSSL.

Currently, we are skipping all tests if built with < 1.0.01. This is really bad. Probably we can fix them. ...but who really uses such an out-dated version?
Support for OpenSSL 0.9.8/1.0.0 series from the OpenSSL development team has finally ended last year, on 2015-122.
We have kept basic compatibility (no missing symbols, SSL seems to work) with OpenSSL 0.9.8 mainly for RHEL 5 (and its derivatives) that ships with heavily modified OpenSSL 0.9.8e. The RHEL 5 will reach EOL on 2017-03. We are already ignoring 0.9.8 bundled in OS X3. As far as I know, there are no other public re-distributions of OpenSSL 0.9.8 or 1.0.0 series with security bug fixes, so, it must be safe to assume nobody is still using them.
I'm not going to merge immediately, and thinking of doing this after Ruby 2.4 release.
Thoughts?
