OpenBSD is still supported. But you either have to install OpenSSL, live without SSL support or get LibreSSL fixed. Python's test suite is passing without ssl available. (Sure, if LibreSSL is fixed, the issue goes away, but right now https://github.com/libressl-portable/portable/issues/381 is still open.) I'm not sure that it's possible to easily install OpenSSL on OpenBSD. OpenBSD is linked to the team who wrote LibreSSL and OpenBSD replaced OpenSSL with LibreSSL. Python without ssl also means Python without pip. Python without pip... well, it's more limited than Python with pip :-)
We never officially supported LibreSSL, so we aren't breaking any promise. I supported LibreSSL as a best-effort approach.
You can still have TLS support with extra packages. Python requests and pip can also use PyOpenSSL.
