> OpenSSL 1.0.2 is available in RHEL 7.4, Debian 8 ("Jessie"), and Ubuntu 16.04; it has also been backported to Debian stable

Jessie _is_ stable, should that first mention be about stretch?

A quick search shows that 1.0.2 is in jessie-backports, so it is, as the article says, available in Debian 8.

Then why write "also"?

The sequel 'it has also been backported to Debian stable.' seems to imply that Debian 8 and Debian stable are different things.
