I wonder who can review the following change and what good or bad can come from it?

Index: crypto/openssl/crypto/opensslv.h
===================================================================

  */
 #define SHLIB_VERSION_HISTORY ""
-#define SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER "0.9.8"
+#define SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER "6"


 #endif /* HEADER_OPENSSLV_H */

Rationale for the change can be seen here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.freebsd/20645
TLDR: some software may depend on libssl.so.${SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER } being correct.
