OK I've merged it now, thank you. It was my first impression but the
ongoing discussions made me doubt.

Perfect!

I tend to agree on this. It doesn't seem very logical to decide now
to use an older release and disable what was considered deprecated
when it was issued. If you use an older release it's because you have
ABI compatibility issues, interoperability issues, or need legacy stuff.

If there were issues for users facing older vendor-provided openssl
libs built with no-deprecated, I think we'd know about it by now, and
given that it's not the case, I also suggest we don't waste valuable
time implementing support for something nobody intends to use. We can
revisit this choice later if the situation ever changes, which I
strongly doubt.

Thanks!
Willy
