Fair question, but post-rc1 is no time to be moving that goalpost
for the v12 branch.

Another data point on that is that Red Hat is still supporting
1.0.1e in RHEL6. I don't think we should assume that just because
OpenSSL upstream has dropped support for a branch, it no longer
exists in the wild.
Having said that, if it makes our lives noticeably easier to
drop support for 0.9.8 in HEAD, I won't stand in the way.
(We should survey the buildfarm and see what the older critters
are running, perhaps.)
