And OpenSSL is used for HTTPS requests, so pretty much directly network-facing and it can have rather nasty security vulnerabilities.

Because if OpenSSL can be such a problem, I assume distros make sure they have the newest version any how, so it wouldn't create the compatibility issues we see now. Or am I seeing things too simplistic?
