Yeah, just been looking into it again, can't believe it has been 4
years. Not sure I buy that, as the major distros have much longer
cycles than OpenBSD stable 6 months. Arch, alpine etc. tend to have the
same developer type users that could cope. It would make some nasty
publicity splashes no doubt though. I guess the filesystem issues were
the real blocker. Debian, Ubuntu and more likely Redhat installs on
ext3?
