It's generally an issue resources. Your "most linux distros" are mostly commercial. Debian is the only non-commercial, but they still get more funding than openbsd.
Openbsd has always been a developer's distro. If you feel that strongly about things - fund it or build it yourself, or start a donation run. Others have done donation runs - most recently pcc. I also find it funny that people who like to talk about principles of freedom don't seem to understand that they have the freedom to do it themselves, and that the freedom is not the freedom to whine for features. Notice how the thread got started - it's not feature X is good and here's why. It's everyone else has feature X and why don't you, you suck. -Tai On 12/16/08, Martin Schrvder <mar...@oneiros.de> wrote: > 2008/12/15 Marc Espie <es...@nerim.net>: >> Heck, we're further along the curve than most others.
