I think the basic issue boils down to the following: 1) lack of complete thread support right now: the developers are still working on finishing up the work. 2) lack of tuits to take on a major change for not really any major perceived gains: this is not an itch any of the developers currently have. 3) it's complicated, and they want to make sure everything works before doing it and probably a little bit of - openbsd is known for its security, but the last security vulnerability was related to openssh. The developers are probably be a little more concerned about taking things in the direction of _well-known_ issues -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
