One thing I dislike is when people voice the opinion before checking the facts. You've probably heard some rumour and never really tried to check is it true or not, right? I suppose you are not subscribed to OpenBSD announcement lists either? Well check this out: http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html It's accessible from the left navigation bar on the OpenBSD main site under the link "Patches". That seems reasonably visible for anybody who wants to make an effort to check.
