Sigh.  You're right, but i wish you weren't. :)

Part of the problem of course is the "SSL" in "OpenSSL" itself, which
has held back the industry from adopting the more accurate "TLS" label.
But i understand the value of the brand, and why that won't be changed
either.

fwiw, i support the suggestion to skip 3.0, and call it OpenSSL 4.0
directly.  Reducing confusion matters.
