That sounds like terrible advice:

  $ sysctl kern.version 
  kern.version=OpenBSD 5.0-current (GENERIC) #7: Wed Sep 21 23:55:26 CEST 2011
    ischwa...@isnote.usta.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
  $ uname -r            
  5.0

Checking the accuracy of advice before providing it
is often useful.

Besides, i'd advise against too much magic.
Following that usually gives you less bugs
and systems that are easier to understand,
i.e. two of the typical virtues of OpenBSD systems.

Yours,
