I'd be in favor to moving the SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 out of SSL_OP_ALL as of
1.0.0 as application should not in general really care against which
openssl version _with stable ABI_ it is linked. And the capabilities
should be defined by the underlying installed library version and not
the version it was built against. Of course in case the application
needs to refer to API additions for the new functionality the situation
is different, but that is not the case of TLS1.1.
