For upcoming 3.6 I would like to limit support to 1.0.2+ and require 1.0.2 features for 3.7. What is the status of Python.org's OSX builds? Is it possible to drop 0.9.8?

I strongly support this change. Python with old OpenSSL versions is an enormous source of difficult-to-debug problems for users attempting to work with the web, and puts our users at totally unnecessary risk. Let’s move on.
