I'm not sure how well this can be done (see below), but that can be done in -HEAD for experiment at least. All -STABLE branches are considered as API/ABI frozen which means if we remove a functionality, they could break existing applications that happens to work for a previous FreeBSD release, so this may cause problems for -STABLE branches as application would see loss of functionality. So this is less likely to happen (IMO). Another orthogonal thought is that we should probably remove the static libraries of OpenSSL from -HEAD now (they will still be built and maybe used in the base system when static binary is absolutely needed). This will make it easier to make sure that the system is clean of outdated OpenSSL bits when updating the libraries.
