While history may be different this time around,
openssl 1.x was kept around as a compat package
for around three years after openssl 3.x was
released (until after the major upstream dependent
packages had completed their migrations).  AFAIK
no one has gone through and checked all the
current users of openssl 3.x in Fedora to see if
they are using deprecated functions, and have
opened PRs upstream to help those upstreams
remove those deprecated features, so the
transition could happen sooner than a few years.
Of course, your mileage will vary.

You are correct. 
But I would strictly separate deprecated functions and deprecated functions :)

I'd expect that ENGINE will eventually be removed relatively soon (in 4.0), I'm not so sure about other deprecated API.
