I don't know what the policy is nowadays ... I switched from Linux to
FreeBSD years ago because of a better sense of quality and less breakage.
I find myself switching from FreeBSD to OpenBSD now because of a better
sense of quality and less breakage...

Anyway, this is not the place to start rants, could someone please commit
misc/137224 (Sorry for wrong category...) Thanks.

Cheers and see you at OpenBSD,
Martin
