Just this one, the others are Qt5 and should be sorted out hopefully in Qt 
5.10.

Because developers. Yes, the API will certainly complain, but one can not 
assume that every developer will take that complain seriously.

It really depends on when the OpenSSL 1.0 removal will really take place. If 
it's by january 2018 then we are fine because:

- Users will still be able to use the needed apps through stable (even if they 
use testing).
