openbsd is switching openssl to be entirely reliant on its system CSPRNG (/dev/random and/or arc4random (which amusingly enough now uses chacha20 not rc4), which as you frequently recommend, cannot block and functions relying on it cannot fail), all internal RNG functionality is beening ripped out.
There will be no CSPRNG to initalize.
API/ABI compat will be maintained by NOOPing the functionality.
