Hi all! I'm running 6.0 -stable using openup for patching. I think it works very well since it's so convenient. At the same time I realise there are trust and security concerns with people like myself, who "blindly" install patches without understanding the details. I suppose my problem is that I'm not a developer and cannot make a fair assessment just by reading code, so neither patch method would be secure for me. I'm the risk, so to speak.
Anyway, to my question(s): Is openup considered good or bad practise, and for what reasons, as you see them? Has there ever been plans among OpenBSD developers to make following -stable easier for "users" such as myself? I failed to find enough info about this topic in the archives, but please point me in the right direction if you happen to know about applicable threads. Humbly, Andreas
