Subject: [exim-dev] DANE library for Exim + OpenSSL and upcoming OpenSSL 3.0.0 release.

The upcoming OpenSSL 3.0.0 release is now in beta and should ship some time in the next few months.
This brings some low level changes to the library, that don't affect most applications, but may require
changes in the legacy standalone DANE library I wrote for OpenSSL 1.0.0+.

While the changes look largely manageable, I'd rather not continue to maintain the legacy
DANE library in perpetuity, given that OpenSSL 1.1.0 and later have built-in DANE support.

With OpenSSL 1.0.2 long EOL, is there any chance that newer versions of Exim could set the
floor OpenSSL version to 1.1.1 and migrate to use the built-in DANE support? I'd can offer
some help to get you there, and then retire the standalone library for good...
