Nope, but the idea would be to keep around a note that we may want to
revisit this area of the code based on the state of upstream, because
our code is currently shaped based on problems that OpenSSL has dealt
with. I am not completely sure, but something among the line of:
"OpenSSL 1.1.1 and older versions return nothing on an unexpected EOF,
and errno may not be set. 3.0 reports SSL_ERROR_SSL with a
meaningful error set on the stack, so this could be reworked once
support for older versions is removed."
Perhaps that's just nannyism from my side, this is really minor at the
end.
