that's a valid question, however, SUSE is "between a rock and a hard
place" here: implementing TLS 1.3 in Apache requires to recompile (at
least) mod_ssl, and this will then trigger always the new openssl
version to be required by rpm dependencies.

While this sounds good for many people, we have customers, where an
"unplanned" version upgrade leads to major delays in deploying a service
pack; think of highly regulated environments, where you certify the
exact package version --Stupid? Maybe! Reality? Definitely!

We iwill come back to this question later this summer.

So long -
