I don't think most secure connections that matter (banks, etc.) would use an OPENSSL. They pay top dollar for secure systems. Open source software's point is to have the community vet the system. They vetted, and found a vulnerability. This is what was supposed to happen. Now everyone that used the free alternative is caught with their port 443 in their hand. So, much to do about nothing is my take.
I see this viewpoint, but also think that so many people share passwords amongst all their accounts online, and a clever person getting access to one may be able to start filing away at other credentials (especially if one's primary email address has been compromised).
The media does tend to latch onto these things and give them neat, marketable names that scare the crap out of non-tech folks. That isn't always a bad thing though, because those most ill-advised about safer use of their online accounts are the ones most likely to use weak passwords and share them amongst multiple outlets.
Now, let's move back to talking about toilets.
