Thanks for that.  Just to be clear, I think it'd be great to run
those RHEL9 animals on v17 and later.  I'm only questioning whether
it's worth the work to back-patch the regression changes to older
branches, and even more whether we'd learn anything by supporting
OpenSSL 1.x's variant spelling of the error messages.

Back-patching to make OpenSSL 3 green on all current branches would
at least be a one-time effort.  The other thing would entail a new
set of variant expected-files that we'd have to maintain into the
future, so I'm feeling much more dubious about that one.
