Oh you're right, I wanted to mention it yesterday but the e-mail delivery issues derailed my focus a bit... So it looks like the most reasonable thing to do is to drop it at the end of this year, or exactly 3 years after the last update to the branch! I don't expect it to require any new fix at all to be honest. Those using it for SSL should really upgrade to something more recent, at least to benefit from more recent openssl versions (1.0.1 was probably the last supported one) and those who don't need SSL likely didn't even upgrade to 1.5 anyway ;-) So we could say that if anything really critical must happen to 1.5, it must happen within one month for it to get a fix and after that it's too late. Cheers, Willy
