I was reading with some surprise that some of the MAC and other "addons" 
from trusted bsd are to be incorporated.

I can already see the security advisories for these things like we've 
had for tcpwrapper, kerberos, heimdal, jail, openssl, etcetera ad 
infinitum.

Is this the right way to go?  We're adding more bloat while openbsd is 
cleaning itself and reworking kernal memory allocation to make exploits 
near impossible.

I dloaded 5.2 but haven't installed yet.  I hope there is a way to 
disable the MAC and other of these "trustedbsd features" that seem to 
keep DARPA funded userland people busy.
