Hmmm - what's wrong with steering people to OpenBSD then that want this?  If
every time that OpenBSD comes out with a feature then FreeBSD emulates it, or
vis-versa, then you have no differentiation between BSD variants and thus no
point in having them.  Is your goal to kill off OpenBSD?

I have a phrase I often use in these sorts of situations: "There's things
that you CAN do, and there's things that you SHOULD do"
