The question is how you OpenBSD guys handle the upgrade issue. From the website I learned that -STABLE is maintained for only one year (= two releases). Given that upgrading by skipping one release is not recommended, does that mean one needs to upgrade the entire OS every half year? I couldn't get that from the website.
Well, I'm no expert, but you could also upgrade once a year without skipping any release. At the end of the n release support, you could just upgrade to n+1 then n+2 right after... and you're back for a year of support.
Of course, you could also maintain you own security patches for older unsupported releases, but this is another story...
