With currently added openssl into JBCS distribution, there was added also jbcs-httpd24-openssl-perl package. Although this package is not directly required to make openssl working in JBCS, customers that want to install it will be required to also install perl-WWW-Curl package from -optional base-os channel as it is a dependency for it. We should put this information into our JBCS documentation somewhere.

Original Jira description follows:

With openssl currently added into JBCS distribution, there is also introduced new dependency on a package from base-os -optional channel (rhel-X-server-optional-rpms). More specifically, there is added jbcs-httpd24-openssl-perl package, which requires perl-WWW-Curl which is available from -optional channel.

As mentioned also in JBCS-31, we don't like to depend on packages from optional channel, because of this, this and this; excerpt from latest link:

Software packages in the Optional and Supplementary channels are not supported, nor are the ABIs guaranteed.

Marking this as a blocker as I believe this should be determined before release.
