Well, knowing the way they build their contrib stuff, one would expect that if some of the stuff fails in ways more subtle than "build time failures", they would not notice it until kind of late anyway. I don't want to make myself sound like an OpenBSD enemy here. I do appreciate their work, and their efforts to have the latest software release available. I'm just addicted to the way FreeBSD sticks to a working version until another is proven to work better :) Ciao.
