Currently 1.0.2 is the LTS version of OpenSSL.  1.1.0 is not scheduled to be LTS.

For the upcoming release (soon), I would NOT expect 1.1.0 to be in it.  There
are still too many incompatibilities with other components.

For the next version of OE, I think it is appropriate to include 1.1.0, but I
would also like to maintain 1.0.2 for the time being.  (Beside LTS, it also is
still the only way to have FIPS-140-2 module, as there is currently no module in
the 1.1.0 -- and there may not be for a while.)
