If the security release will only contain an OpenSSL update consider
adding the following to the pre-release announcement:

```text
Since this security release will only include updates for OpenSSL, if you're using
a Node.js version which is part of a distribution which uses a system
installed OpenSSL, this Node.js security update might not concern you. You may
instead need to update your system OpenSSL libraries, please check the
security announcements for the distribution.
