The "will disappear at some point" wording seems to come from this issue

The TLS chapter in the admin guide should be updated to suggest "openssl rehash"
instead of c_rehash.

So at least at the moment, the 3.0.0 alpha for OpenSSL still includes c_rehash.

Given that "rehash" is relatively new (1.1.0 line) and c_rehash doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon, I'm actually inclined to leave the admin guide as-is for now, unless we're planning on updating the minimum required version of OpenSSL, since c_rehash works with all versions we support.
