You see, rms? You were right. OpenBSD has lots of trolls who:
a. Don't find out about the person who is emailing
b. Make assumptions about the person in a.
c. Just troll all day and have no work to do

Then you are misunderstanding OpenBSD's goals which are clearly stated

I understand the goals that are not written on that page: do what you

Hi,
The Makefile in /usr/share/doc/usd complains about missing or not
