If this added a new very useful feature then *maybe* it would be worthwhile. But as things stand, as an alternative way to do something which can already be done trivially, why would you want to encourage unportable scripts by adding it? It's much less ugly to use >/dev/null than to create a script which will fail (possibly in bad ways) on slightly older OS releases. I seriously doubt this will be added to OpenBSD.
