Yes, like most others it seems, I can go years without checking INSTALL
(after 17 years of using OpenBSD, it's easy to think that I know its content).

I did however check the "following current" page on the website. I check that
every so often (and whenever I hit a problem). [I often check the CVS list
too, although in this case I looked for completely the wrong thing.]
