I wasn’t aware of this. This will probably make whatever switch to some other TLS library harder to swallow for some. Could we defer this new policy until after 25.12, to give « older » devices a little more lifetime?

The hard transition between stable releases is also probably going to make life harder for those users with « elaborate » setups that may not be comfortable jumping ships as soon as a new release is put out, but that’s orthogonal.

HTH, just thinking out loud.
