As far as I see, the openvpn-devel package exists to always use the latest 'bleeding-edge' svn version of openvpn instead of the latest release as does the 'stable' openvpn package. So it will continue to exist until the OpenVPN team ceases development - or nobody is interested anymore in testing the latest svn version.
