If the openssl maintainers really strongly want to remove the devel pacakge, then don't call this deprecation because that is misleading. Call this purging openssl1.1 from the entire distro, such that it can only be used by 3rd party apps who have previously compiled against older Fedora openssl-devel. Be open about fact that this will cause FTBFS for any Fedora packages that stil uses openssl1 and their removal from the distro if they can't port to openssl3 very quickly.
