Long time, no see?

Without reading much of the documentation to gain reasonable production usage, you're trying to mend the OpenBSD site to say it is lacking something that you thought worth having according to your current limited to Linux experience.

The pushing of binary patches notion is not appropriate. For a project that provides binary base OS and binary packages for ports on multiple architectures, and signed distribution of base and packages, before anyone else adopted these impressive achievements, you think in your own universe (and your advisor's) this group is resource constrained and incapable of providing binary patches to current and stable? Read the docs, don't be lazy and overly assuming. You're polluting the Internet with incorrect information which is a disservice to both newcomers from Linux and to the OpenBSD community. > If you think the issue may be interesting to elaborate on, I could write a > guide of improve > on stable.html to help newcomers adapt to this method of keeping up to date. You're actually trying to scare people off, because you can't handle the lean and effective process of managing OpenBSD, justifying this with the unconfirmed fact you were "advised" by somebody. Realistically, you could have consulted off list before trying this stunt.
