Granted; or I could just apply that patch to the 7.0 stable source and copy in the new config binary :). I doubt if there will be any binary patches that would overwrite it before 7.1 comes out. Saving me the trouble of tweaking the kernel by hand on the rare occasion a kernel patch comes by probably isn't worth running a snapshot, at least in my case. Thanks...

I believe this has been committed on November 20: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs=163737802014911=2 However, that means that it won't work in OpenBSD 7.0, you will need to run something newer (which, at the moment, means -current / snapshots). Ah good catch, thanks.
