I looked very closely, it started like this "Just a rant"
And I knew the email was coming from a self-centered individual who is unhappy with the entirely volunteer work done by others, yet not unhappy enough to quit OpenBSD and switch to another operating sytem where there will be similar unhappiness because those other systems also won't do precisely what you want. Your email is not appropriate. If you don't like OpenBSD, use something else, because noone deserves an email which starts with those 3 words you chose, and the following complaint is such horseshit in a world where disk drives are cheap. I started OpenBSD a quarter of a century ago by spending $3500 for a 300MB drive and ate noodles and tuna for many months to make up for that, and we do not live in a world where you get to moan about 55MB, relative to whatever it takes to ease the complicate work undertaken by the ports developers. In short, Steffen, you need to shut up.
