that quote is still marketing, its backed up by excuses and lawyerly
nitpicking, not real fact.

wrong. default install of all versions of OpenBSD prior to 2.7 WERE
vulnerable because they turned on ftpd by default in the default
install. the only reason they maintain that absurd `4 years without a
root hole' is because they narrowly obsoleted 2.6 with 2.7 before that
hole was discovered. like i said: lawyerly nitpicking.

and local exploits don't matter? exactly the response i expect from a
marketing person.
