You are suggesting to reread a very long thread... not very useful to
get new people involved.
As far as I understand there are distinct things:
A) distributing Sage sources (which has few to do with SSL)
B) building Sage with or without SSL support
C) distributing Sage binaries with or without SSL
All are different things. Which one are you talking about when saying
"inclusion of OpennSSL"? Before talking about implementation it would
help to have clear goals.

I think that this can be implemented, thanks to Git, in the following
manner :
* Prepare a branch (let's say `anchorite`).
* Follow the [Trac ticket](https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/24107) aiming
at the inclusion of OpenSSL
* At this ticket merge into Sage, revert the pertinent commits in
`anchorite`
* At each point you want to release, merge with the branch you wish to
reach to in `master` or `develop`, and reverse again.
* If new additions or patches rely on the presence of OpenSSL, add them to
your set of patches to be reversed, rinse and repeat...
In short, the delta between `master` or `develop` and `anchorite` will be
the sum of patches reversal involvig OpenSSL.
This is easy to do for people using git as thei source. The problem is not
so simple to release tarballs or binaries : a synchronization with the
release manager is necessary. And I haven't the foggiest idea on how to
proceed, for lack of knowledge of the release process.
No ,proposal ticket (yet), since this is mainly an organizational issue...
Your inputs, please ?
