Supporting OpenSSL 1.0.2 adds a lot of complexity to the code base, mainly because it doesn't provide some of the APIs available in higher versions.

Examples of OpenSSL 1.0.2-only code are:

I propose to remove support for OpenSSL 1.0.2. Note that this version reached EOL on Dec 2019, that is 5 years ago. AFAIU, the only reason to use such and old version past it's EOL was because it was FIPS 140-2 certified, (with certificate #1747), but all the platform the FIPS module got certified are also past EOL.

Is there any objection to proceed with this proposal? I would like to target Go 1.25.

Builds of OpenSSL 1.0.2 with active FIPS 140-2 certificates are still commercially available, e.g. certificate #3273. However, the aforementioned certificate lapses on 2025-10-15, before Go 1.24 will reach EOL, so I have no objections to 1.0.2 support being removed starting with Go 1.25.
