Some good points, some whining, some stupid comments.
My comments:
I wouldn't be surprised if he had problems with OpenBSD-current, since
he used a -current from shortly after the tree unfroze for the next
release, which is when most "new" things go in and OpenBSD-current is
most unstable.
And he surely has a more "standard" machine for server testing than a
laptop, no? (OpenBSD will try to configure any device it finds, as
almost all drivers are built in to the GENERIC kernel ... I doubt he
loaded all possible modules on the other OSes. Not saying this is
necessarily a problem, but he doesn't even give the dmesg for each
OS, or if IRQs were shared with some kernels and not others, etc, etc.)
