It does not work because noone who works on OpenBSD runs -stable.
Then every few months some of you come and yell at us.

Honestly, I think we should get rid of the list.  But then, it was
created because you people like you asked for it.  So, if we got
rid of it, people like you would yell at us.  So how about if we
leave the list in existance, and instaed ignore your requests?

I think that would work better.  I am not here saying this because
I have answers.  I don't.  I think that people running old software
quite frankly cannot rely on a mailing list run by people who don't
run -stable.  So how can any of you hope we will solve your problems?
People who can't, won't.
