I'm not particularly fond of going back on support promises. Also, 
whilst OpenSSL is important, there are applications simply not using 
QtNetwork or SSL.

I think I'll stand with the remark that an application depending on N 
3rd party components (libraries, tools, OS, Linux distribution, you name 
it) should look at which single component ends its support first, as 
that's the latest date at which the application itself will become 
unsupported.

My 2c,
