On May 25 between 1200–1600UTC, OpenSSL will release some bug-fix
updates:
https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2017-May/000098.html
Apparently, none of the fixes are for security problems.
However, I still think we should apply the update of openssl@1.0.2 with
a graft, if the ABI is unchanged, unless none of the changes are
relevant for GNU / Linux systems.
WDYT?

I thought about it some more, and now I'm not so sure we should start
grafting non-security related bug fixes, in general. For this case,
let's see what the changes are.
I'm still interested in your thoughts!

Same here. I think we should reserve graft for security fixes, or
otherwise serious bug fixes.
I’m surprised that they announce bug-fix-only releases in this way.

I pushed it to core-updates as 811e10281fc11b514d5a1da2ba5a87e6eb19de5e.

Me too. I can't figure out how to construct a link to GitHub that will
list the commits in this release; there are 111 commits. The only thing
the OpenSSL maintainers put in 'CHANGES':
* config now recognises 64-bit mingw and chooses mingw64 instead of
mingw.
