My concern is that these patches are being taken from netbsd without consideration for whether they are the best fix for openbsd, or even correct. That concern is compounded by my sense that the netbsd developers are robotically making changes to appease tools without testing them. I'm a big fan of static analysis and I spent several years working at Coverity, but it is a dangerous tool in the wrong hands.
