We would also need it in for Python 3.6 and pypys.
Are RHEL 9 patches for Python 3 series relevant in this case?

Please don't remove the devel package if you aim for deprecation. As other have
said, removing the devel package is essentially retirement, not deprecation.
OK, it's not a problem to deprecate the package in the sense of https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/deprecating-packages/
But we still want to get rid of it.

OpenSSL 3 was introduced in Fedora 36, that has *just* been released this year.
This is a change proposal for Fedora 37, that is half a year after, not 7 years :/
Well, speaking about 7 years, I mean the idea to support the compat package synchronously with RHEL 8.
I'd like to retire this package not later than, well, a release after OpenSSL 1.1.1 EOL.
