From OpenSSL download page (https://www.openssl.org/source/):

Note: The latest stable version is the 1.1.1 series. This is also our Long Term 
Support (LTS) version, supported until 11th September 2023. All other versions 
(including 1.1.0, 1.0.2, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8) are now out of support and should not 
be used. Users of these older versions are encourage to upgrade to 1.1.1 as 
soon as possible. Extended support for 1.0.2 to gain access to security fixes 
for that version is available.

While I understand they do offer paid support for previous versions, I don’t 
think it is wise for httpd to openly support a discouraged code. Previous 
OpenSSL versions were fun, but it is time to move on.

Just my $.02.
