My reply to Jason on the 12th has not changed. A full system upgrade
should not be required, just a parallel compiler installation, or VM for
testing with if you do want to go the whole way.

While there are a lot of TLS/SSL related patches going into Squid-4, the
one that stick there should largely be cosmetic code shuffling or
renaming for later improvements. We are trying to get the bug fixes
backported to 3.5 still. If you are aware of one that got missed and is
causing pain please let us/Christos know.
