Hi,

as a penetration tester, I would appreciate something like a package 
"ssl-obsolete", that would contain old, working code. While it is probably not
necessary to fix cryptography related bugs (we know that this part is broken),
it would be probably still nice to fix RCE bugs.

There are still MANY devices out there, that does not receive any updates,
sometimes because they are in an "air-gaped" environment, or they are some sort
of an embedded device, etc, etc. It is still very useful, to have some handy 
way how to speak to those devices, there may be still hundreds of millions of 
them. (installing a special 5 years old instance of while OS does not seems 
like a handy way to me)

1) Are distributions/users comfortable with this approach in the time
frame proposed?

As a user, this is acceptable for me, but I know there are still
machines outside that only offer such old versions.
Some of them can't be upgraded easily because the vendor doesn't
provide any new versions.

Can those machines be put behind a proxy?
