The only thing that should break here is "everything else" on your system. E.g. if you are prompted to upgrade pacman first because it is in SyncFirst, and it pulls in an so-bump OpenSSL, then anything else on your system that links that library won't work until you complete a full -Syu. However, as I pointed out above, this was already happening as far as I can see before.
Not exactly: Last time, pacman upgraded itself without upgrading libarchive and libfetch, and the next update pulled the openssl upgrade with the rest of the libraries. And we still had lots of problems with users who broke their system. I am thinking we might consider using dlopen() on libssl with a fallback to the builtin code.
