FWIW, Postfix 3.4, released a few weeks ago no longer supports
OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.2.

Though folks on this list probably don't care, Postfix support
covers and the current and 3 previous stable releases, so we're
still supporting Postfix 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 which build with older
OpenSSL releases, all the way back to 0.9.7, but DANE support
requires at least OpenSSL 1.0.0.  So users who're stuck with
OpenSSL 1.0.2 can continue to use it, with a slightly older
Postfix release, until 3.4 becomes the oldest supported stable
release.

[exim-dev] [Bug 1895] Default groups for DH possibly backdoored

IMO yes we're ready to drop support for older OpenSSL.  We set a clear policy,
it's over a year (or two?) after that point, and other projects have adopted
similar policies.

I haven't done anything to move us to the newer APIs.  That LibreSSL doesn't
support and doesn't like the cleaner configuration system of newer OpenSSL is a
little off-putting.  We've never formally said yes/no to supporting LibreSSL
but de facto we have supported it simply as a result of the APIs being
identical in the past, so we didn't need to care.

But for the ability to load a DH param including q?  Go for it!
