Ah, but that pullup is due on a NetBSD "immediately" :-p

 It's going to be a flag day for anyone running netbsd-10, but as we
are still making older netbsd-10 binary packages which people are
using, it makes some sense to build updated ones...

It's probably one of those cases where as soon as you give in and
actually make packages available for netbsd-10, openssl3 will finally
be enabled in netbsd-10, but then that will be good, as we'll have
openssl3 in netbsd-10 :)
