Hmm ... according to that commit message,

Note that the minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1 as of
7b283d0e1d1d79bf1c962d790c94d2a53f3bb38a, so this does not introduce
any new version requirements.

So presumably, changing this test would break it for OpenSSL 0.9.8,
which is still nominally supported in those branches. On the other
hand, this test isn't run by default, so users would likely never
notice anyway.

On the whole, +1 for doing this (after the release freeze lifts).
