I think I would rephrase that - OpenBSD is just about security, and security implies far more than simply patching holes. Stability, administrative transparency, and thorough documentation are all critical and overly neglected aspects of security. If you don't know the proper way to configure feature X, you cannot be sure it is configured securely. OpenBSD simply looks at security in a holistic fashion, while every other OS I have to suffer through views security as a 'feature'.
