HI!
Thank you for your quick answer.
Isn't the patch- the same branch as stable-branch, which is the one I'm
using for my production system?

According to the FAQ section 5 (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html ) it
says:

" *-Stable* is based on *-release*, and is a branch from the main
development path of OpenBSD. When very important fixes are made to *-current
*, they are "back ported" (merged) into the *-stable* branches; because of
this, *-stable* is also known as the "*patch branch*." "
