If we agree to drop support for OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 1.0.1, then I can land bunch of useful goodies like proper hostname verification [2], proper fix for IP address in SNI TLS header [3], PEP 543 compatible Certificate and PrivateKey types (support loading certs and keys from file and memory) [4], and simplified cipher suite configuration [5]. I can finally clean up ssl.c during the beta phase, too.
Given the annoyance of supporting old OpenSSL versions, I'd say +1 to this.
We'll have to deal with the complaints of users of Debian oldstable, CentOS 6 and RHEL 6, though.
Regards
Antoine.
