new soname, so yes
but our current packaging uses unversioned paths, so no without 
packaging changes

-devel still has libssl.so, and i haven't seen any package using any 
other library name than that. luckily there are pkgconfig files, but it 
would still need patch every program that uses openssl to force 
versioned pkg-config files

there's dev-1.1 branch on openssl package in pld repo updating to 1.1 branch
