Neal,
you are addressing this as if the OpenSSL maintainers are being
capricious.
We deferred the introduction of OpenSSL 3.0 in Fedora because we did
not want a mess in a distribution that is actually used, out of concern
for our users.
We can "dump" OpenSSL 3.0 in Fedora at any time, but we consciously
choose not to as to avoid pain for users. We cannot drop the Change
because we have to introduce OpenSSL 3.0 at some point, we just want to
introduce it when it's right for Fedora.
My irritation comes from the lack of communication from the Change
owner. This Change has already been deferred once (for good reason,
mind you). I'm annoyed that this is being deferred again because this
time the Change owner hasn't said *anything* at all. Everyone else
seems to be speaking (even Florian, which confuses me). I wouldn't
mind the Change being deferred again for solid technical reasons, but
I don't know how to trust that this Change is ever going to get done
because zero work happened and zero communication happened.
