What's the intended timeline for this? Do it now (before #3009 has to adopt #ifdef for missing features in old OpenSSL), or later?

It's more than the OpenSSL version being old. Apple officially deprecated OpenSSL in favor of its own Common Crypto library. I'm not sure you should allow the shipped OpenSSL to be used at all:

In addition to these APIs, a number of open source tools use OpenSSL for secure networking. If you use OpenSSL in your publicly shipping apps, you must provide your own copy of the OpenSSL libraries, preferably as part of your app bundle; the OpenSSL libraries that OS X provides are deprecated.

Before the hmac commit, and we will remove those #ifdef in the hmac commit.
