What is the targeted time frame for release of OpenSSL 4.0?

Last I knew it was not soon(ish).  And (for Fedora), I would
expect for a number of years distros are likely going to
have to ship both openssl 3.x and openssl 4.x libraries for
compatibility (just as many still ship openssl 1.1), and
engine support may be a compatibility requirement.

I would think the OpenSSL 4.0 timeframe is when
engine support should be dropped (I believe the
3.x headers already warn about deprecation, and
people have the option to start porting code now,
although many are likely to not do so until it breaks).
