FWIW, I'm not sure I see why there's a connection between moving up
the minimum Python version and minimum OpenSSL version.  Nobody is
installing bleeding-edge Postgres on RHEL5, not even me ;-), so I
don't especially buy Peter's line of reasoning.

I'm perfectly okay with doing both things in HEAD, I just don't
see that doing one is an argument for or against doing the other.
