I suspect that unless you really know what you are doing, you'll never satisfy the OpenBSD gods. I suspect that there is a good reason that pkg_add was rewritten in perl. I suspect because it may have been written in perl. And just like that a good idea wasn't completely done in another way. There are no "OpenBSD" gods. Only a few developer with something like 20 years of experience writing C code. They managed to work for a project that value good work as much as they do. So of course they won't let any junk in the tree. And saying stuff like "we could do privsep later" won't help. If you need an example of how to do it the right way, look at xwallpaper. Someone found something to improve. They have done that and put the code somewhere accessible. I might end up in the tree, it might not. Who know ? Two years ago, I was told there is a lot of work to do on the usb stack.
