According to [1], TLS compression is still the default configuration of
OpenSSL. This opens OpenSSL and all dependent tools (python, ruby, etc.) to
the CRIME attack.

I've already received push back from some of these tools that "OpenSSL
should just fix this" and while I'm working on convincing them that they
have to own their security, correcting this would fix a huge number of
tools in the future.
