Oh, very good.  I messed up the versions again...

The other big long-term-support distro, SLES, does still ship and
support 0.9.8 in SELS11 until 2019 (2022 for extended support), but can
be updated to 1.0.1.

As far as I'm concerned, that is enough reason to only support OpenSSL
1.0.1+ for OpenVPN 2.4 (and newer).
