I don't think the Change process should be expected to find consensus, 
your incentive is only to find something which passes a FeSCO vote. But 
yeah, doing something like that would definitely get my +1:

#ifndef I_ACKNOWLEDGE_THAT_ENGINES_WILL_BE_GONE_IN_FEDORA_41
#define  OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE
#endif

...and moving engine.h back the main -devel package.
