I was really hoping that the OpenSSL bugfix patch would receive the
same treatment (commit 7c7d4fddab82dc756d8caa67b1b31fcdde355aab).
Should I take its inclusion here in the 9.6 release notes as
portending a backpatch never happening?
There seems to be a lack of urgency about it, and given that it's
moderately complicated, that tends to mean it will keep getting put
off. I did notice that you have an sgml comment about it, but the
wording isn't optimistic.
