I would not consider this appropriate for a stable branch. With such 
invasive changes it would no longer be reasonably safe for users to 
follow the branch to receive security updates for other recipes.

In Ubuntu 18.04 security support for OpenSSL 1.0.2 is provided until at 
least April 2023. Similar schedules exist for other LTS distributions.
This provides sources for piggy-backing security support for a few years
after upstream support ends.
