Nothing wrong with that. That's what LTS is for. That's also why OpenSSL 1.0 
is as secure as 1.1: both branches are being maintained by upstream.

My point is that you can't talk about whether a distro has OpenSSL 1.1 if it's 
too old to have had a chance to migrate. I'm sure no distro is shipping with 
OpenSSL 1.2 right now, and yet that's not a problem :-)
