I'm sorry if I am misunderstanding. So are you saying that you designed
svnd because you were bored, that you built it without any ends in
mind, and that your purpose was not to protect your data, but only to
kill time?
I'm not accusing you of poor programming, I'm just wondering how
desireable encrypted filesystems are to the developers of
OpenBSD--which seems like a for-us-by-us to me.

I'm not a developer of OpenBSD, but I know that encrypted filesystems
are not at all important to me - not even on my latptop. If I have
something so sensitive, then I'll encrypt the file(s) themselves. I must
reluctantly admit that *almost* none of the info on my hard disk is
classified, eyes only, or even special. The black helicopters are pretty
easy to shake, so I'm not worried about the rest.
