So, the tree won't develop support for this standard until UEFI systems require
it. Alternately, if someone writes it ahead of time, maybe that will be useful.
(Useful in making it easier to boot OpenBSD without disabling secure boot in
your BIOS, or useful in allowing a vendor to lock their proprietary hardware
to their own signed openBSD loader, etc...)

Since the purpose of Secure Boot provide little to no benefit to users (in fact
quite the opposite), the question becomes.... why?
