Hi Tom, I have a specific test case where I test if it's still possible to build upstream master u-boot on our infrastructure (progression testing). I also test runtime on our boards.
I understand that nowadays everyone uses docker container, but we have limited docker nodes right now on our site. If you don't want to support OpenSSL < 1.1.0 and do not test it, then I suggest dropping it all over the tree because it doesn't make sense and looks misleading with such a partial solution. Best regards, Artem
