Yup, exactly. This is only a bad outcome and will be seen (correctly) by 
upstream projects as Fedora shipping a broken OpenSSL when we start 
wasting their time with people filing "I couldn't build on Fedora" bug 
reports.

The time Fedora maintainers have spent on this is a sunk cost, doing 
nothing is clearly inferior to all other options. At minimum we should 
ship F41 with openssl-devel Requires: openssl-engine-devel again. 
(Having OpenSSL <configuration.h> #define OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE properly is 
by far my preferred option)
