As proven time and again with glibc, this is obviously not true. Every
time an ABI break occurs, you need to plan a targeted mass rebuild,
but otherwise it's fine.

In any case, the OpenSSL ABI stabilized upstream with the 3.0 beta
release, didn't it?

OpenSSL 3.0 beta 2 was just tagged last week:
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/releases/tag/openssl-3.0.0-beta2

We already have the compat package:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openssl1.1

It is not required to port everything already.
