That is false. > OpenBSD adds most of the security features for amd64 first, or in its > strongest iteration for amd64 anyway. So, while i386 isn't poisonous, > you should really use amd64 if you are able to. That is also false. In fact, sparc64 has tended to be the leading architecture in the last decade. amd64 only caught up with kernel-side W^X in the last year, while sparc64 had all the machine-dependent management correct, and was only missing some machine-independent tuning.
