I have no opinion on OpenBSD support.

It's good to know that the pip issue can be worked around (if
PyOpenSSL can be easily installed on OpenBSD? I mean... without pip
;-))).

At least, if Python 3.7 doesn't work on OpenBSD anymore because of
this issue, maybe LibreSSL will be more motivated to fix the issue?
