RELENG_8_0 is considered as "frozen" which means we will do massive
upgrade there.  RELENG_8 would have the latest OpenSSL.

Note that "cheery picking" style of changes _may_ be permitted on
RELENG_8_0 per re@ and security-officer@'s decision.  If you know what
the problem is, please feel free to let [email protected] know,
ideally with a reference to OpenSSL bug tracking system, a CVE number,
etc. so we will be able to handle it more quickly.

We do have patched RELENG_8_0 before 8.0-RELEASE for a few SSL protocol
flaws.  http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-09:15.ssl.asc

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
