It's also pretty trivial to run the program. Maybe it's different in other projects, but I'm pretty sure in OpenBSD you're encouraged to actually test the code, not just ship it because it compiles. There's 2 programs in OpenBSD's base that don't abort on the pledge call failing, they're both shells, and they don't fail quietly.
