I don't know. I don't think anybody is very excited about mq... A lot of openbsd daemons use the imsg framework that we've built, which I think overlaps here. imsg only exists on OpenBSD, but mechanism it's built on is portable, just basic unix stuff. Some analysis or discussion about how imsg could be improved or replaced by mq would be interesting. Otherwise this looks like a feature we won't be using, nor is it widely used by others. I think the openbsd position on posix conformance is to try to conform for the features we have, but not try very hard to chase down all the latest additions. We'd prefer in some ways to be a bit behind the times.
