Another showstopper is net-libs/wvstreams, hence net-dialup/wvdial. |

BTW, this is a Debian bug open without any comment since April 2017: |

Debians and Archs workarounds can be called slotting of openssl:1.0 |

While many of the new opaqueness problems are easy to fix, |
| 14 |
some functions of wvstreams rely so much on internals which are |
| 15 |
inaccessible with openssl-1.1 that they seem impossible to convert. |
| 16 |
My guess (I am not an openssl guru) is that the whole wvstreams |
| 17 |
implementation would need to change, maybe also the provided API with |
| 18 |
some functionality being dropped or attacked completely differently. |
| 19 |
The uncommented bugreports and missing PRs suggest that this will |
| 20 |
never happen by upstream, and there also seems to be no fork with it. |

Maybe for wvstreams a workaround might be to mask/remove USE=ssl: |
| 23 |
Perhaps wvdial would then loose some functionality (does anybody |
| 24 |
know what would break?) but given how useful wvdial is, this is |
| 25 |
better than dropping it completely. |
