RHEL5 still has 0.9.8e with backported patches and will be supported
until 2017-03-31.

FreeBSD 8.4, 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 all have 0.9.8y with backported patches.
8.4, 9.1 and 9.2 all expire before OpenSSL 0.9.8, but 9.3 will be
supported until 2016-12-31.

0.9.8 and 1.0.1 are not binary compatible, so upgrading is *not* an
option.  We (as in FreeBSD) will have to make do - either develop our
own patches or adapt RedHat's.

The latest 0.9.8 still only has TLS 1.0, unless they're planning to
backport 1.1 and 1.2 (which I seriously doubt).
