Hello,

The time has come for another OpenSSL release migration.  I intend to do a 
system change proposal to switch our default OpenSSL implementation to 
OpenSSL 3.0 in Alpine 3.15 *if* there is not much fall out with testing.

If you want to test your packages, you can do so by building against 
openssl3.0-dev instead of openssl-dev.  Likewise, you can use the OpenSSL 
3.0 CLI by installing openssl3.0 package.  Note you will need to do `apk 
fix openssl` after removing openssl3.0 if you want to go back to the 
OpenSSL 1.1 CLI.

Please test your packages with OpenSSL 3.0, so we can get some idea of 
what the fall out is going to be.  I would like to switch to OpenSSL 3.0 
in Alpine 3.15, so that we can take advantage of the new Apache 2.0 
license on it.

Thanks,
Ariadne
