If people really need FIPS mode, somebody will fork again and
create libfipssl.com and charge a million bucks for it. And then the
ones who need FIPS mode can pay to get it, but they won't pay us. The
OpenBSD Foundation will gladly take donations to improve libressl, but
some money is just too expensive to accept. Sitting on (or more
accurately, under) a million dollars in custom contracts creates what
I will charitably call a priority inversion.
