Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Deprecated API Removal timeline?

Just a reminder that if you still need a support of the EOL OpenSSL 
versions you can leverage one of these support plans

Obviously upgrading to the newer API is recommended sooner than that. 

 

Why?  My employer plans to upgrade to 3.5 soon, and then is very unlikely 
to upgrade to 4.x for three or four years, at which point we will go to the 
latest current LTS.  What benefit is there in using the newer API before 
then.  (“It can do new shiny things” doesn’t really count.  I don’t need to 
do those new shiny things.)

Note that 3.5 is an LTS so it will be supported for 5 years. Obviously 
upgrading to the newer API is recommended sooner than that. 

 

Thanks,
