[issue21308] PEP 466: backport ssl changes

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

MAL - agreed on the version numbering implications of treating OpenSSL CVE's as CPython CVE's, but I think Guido pretty much answered that when he extended the 2.7 EOL to 2020 (i.e. we were going to hit 2.7.10 within the next couple of years regardless).

Starting a python-dev thread on that topic in order to reach a broader audience is still a reasonable idea, though.
