Indeed compat-openssl10 really should go.
If there are still packages depending on it they should be ported or
dropped at this point.
Openssl1.0.2 is unmaintained upstream and only critical security fixes
are done in RHEL. But the team that handles them does not own the
Fedora package anymore. OpenSSL 1.0 does not support things lie TLS 1.3
or system-wide crypto policies.
Frankly at this point it is just a liability to continue offering it.

I'll file a bugzilla to ask to retire it from rawhide.

Simo.
