As I mentioned in my OpenBSD 7.8 highlights post, development of relayd(8) and httpd(8) had stalled. Many diffs appeared on the tech@ mailing list from different contributors, but few were committed into the repository. The main reason was simple: Established OpenBSD developers weren’t interested in these daemons anymore. Around the same time, kirill@ and I started working on these daemons more actively. I support customers with OpenBSD setups that often involve complex httpd(8) and relayd(8) configurations.
