That's what I meant as well. Cutting the minimal OpenSSL version on
Linux would not come I think without complains so the requirements are
way higher. I know of companies compiling and running benchmarks of
PostgreSQL on past RHEL and SUSE versions, linking to what's locally
available for simplicity.
A script which reports the version of OpenSSL should be simple enough
for MSVC. And I am ready to bet that at least hamerkop is not using
OpenSSL 1.0.2, so a simple switch would most likely cause the buildfarm
to go red. I am attaching in CC the maintainers of the Windows animals
so as they can comment.
