As I'm updating and checking packages for r151018's release, I notice that 
OpenSSL is rapidly approaching a 1.1.0 release.  I visited their Release 
Strategy page:

        http://openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html

And noticed that 1.0.2 is LTS until 2019.  OTOH, 1.1.x will likely become LTS 
for some x, and there's also LibreSSL...

I'm starting this thread to hear what the community has to say about where 
OmniOS should go w.r.t. its OpenSSL release.  I have internal customers too, of 
course, but I'll engage them separately.  We need to have an OpenSSL because 
illumos requires one.  We *could* do the SmartOS thing and keep our own 
SUNW/OMNI*...() api set, though.

I can't guarantee what I'll ultimately decide, but knowing what people think 
can't hurt.

Thanks,
Dan
