Here is a quick update on this SRU.

Bringing in Apache support is currently not in scope. However, this can
be investigated separately and possibly would most likely look like a
targetted backport of mod_ssl, rather than a full upgrade of all of the
apache2. But again only after OpenSSL 1.1.1 SRU is completed.

It is investigated to bring OpenSSH compiled against libcrypto 1.1.1
support. But again only after OpenSSL 1.1.1 SRU is complete.

The current goal is to SRU OpenSSL 1.1.1 without causing any regressions
to the dependent packages, which is quite a large task. In practice that
does mean enabling TLS1.3 support in a few packages that are affected by
the new handshake.

As stated, this SRU is being staged https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-
service/+archive/ubuntu/3473 possibly with a better stage page of the
currently expected runtime regressions as shown at this page
https://bileto.ubuntu.com/excuses/3473/bionic.html

As you can see there, this upgrade cannot land until after relevant
python/perl/ruby/R changes are also brought in. Python stack is mostly
ready now, the others will be quite easier to test and land.

If you can, I do urge you to test https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-
service/+archive/ubuntu/3473 PPA on bionic with your workloads to spot
breakage, incompatibility, and/or any unexpected connectivity issues
(client<->server protocol negotiation failures).

My personal goal is to land this in time / well ahead of the next bionic
point release (currently penciled in for 7th February). But this is not
a guarantee or a firm commitment that one can bank on.

I hope this update helps.
