Although the lib and headers seems to be removed in OS X 10.11, there are still users of 10.10-. The system OpenSSL lib is deprecated [1] and it's a bit unclear if it's still getting security fixes (haven't found any official Apple info about that but I might have missed it) but I guess it still might be patched by Apple. Also it might become a bit tricky for some users on Mac to compile PHP after we bump a minimal OpenSSL version. For that reason I'm thinking about postponing this. I would also love to hear your thoughts and possibly if someone is able to dig up the OS X OpenSSL support info, that would be great too! Cheers Jakub
