You are the one that objects most violently if we break users' expectations
- and I think "changing library *requirements* right in the middle of a=20
release train" is a good way to do that...  even if all *supported by the
maintainers* OS version have recent-enough OpenSSL libraries, I expect peop=
le
to happily use 2.4.2 on "something", and if 2.4.3 stops compiling there,
this is not a good thing to do.

So I'd just fix the library order (=3D go with Steffan's patch) and not=20
backport the larger changes.
