Get a decent mailer that wraps lines.
The default setup and autoallocation fits development use, for that
/usr shoud be modifiable.
If the default sizes do not fit you, you can modify them interactively
after auto allocation using the R command or by using an alternate
auto allocation table.
As for wear levelling, it is enough to not just allocate part of the
ssd. It does not not matter if that part is in an fs or not.
Actually, it might be better to make the free space not part of an fs.
As for the games, they have always been part of OpenBSD.
