Recent updates on f27 are blocked because openssl-devel (1.1)

openssl 1.1 devel packages (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1625440 ). Those packages
used to coexist peacefully up until recently.
I understand that we want to move to openssl 1.1 but the current reality
is that it's pushed off the system. Maybe it's not a big deal because
apparently it can be uninstalled with no ill effects.
I don't know if it's a real conflict or a packaging artifact that could
be reverted.
AIUI it's usually a real conflict. -devel packages for different
versions of the same library are allowed and usually expected to
conflict (for one thing, they both likely want to own the unversioned
.so for the libraries themselves - e.g. /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so . It's
only really a bug if the non-development library packages conflict.
Is there a particular reason you need both -devel packages installed at
the same time? Are you saying you only have one installed, but
upgrading is trying to add the other for some reason?
