Heheh, I hope the irony is intentional.  ;-)  Like "Never get vaccines, because 
sometimes vaccines cause problems."   ;-)  It's true that sometimes updates 
cause problems, but there are *more* problems without.  The irony of suggesting 
that 0.9.8 is better than 1.1.0...  If anybody cares, could be easily 
dismantled by just reading the changelog of the openssl releases... 
http://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=blob_plain;f=CHANGES;hb=HEAD

The latest 0.9.8 is 4 years old.  Since then, I see many security 
vulnerabilities fixed... CVE-2010-3864, CVE-2010-4252, CVE-2010-4180, 
CVE-2011-0014,  etc.  

Point is, as soon as there's any security vulnerability discovered, it both 
gets *published* so the world knows about it, and it also gets patched.  If you 
don't keep up with patches, you're literally publishing your vulnerabilities to 
the world, for everyone to see, and then sitting back and neglecting to patch 
it up.
