This is probably the time where most people would recommend against

Sorry but isn't the ABI time_t change
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20130813
included in 5.4?
No, the time_t changes went in after the tree unlocked from the
5.4 release cycle.
Or am I confused cause I run -current almost everywhere?
What is this reinstall for 5.5 that all you people are talking about?
If we're talking about the same thing then no reinstall is needed...
Having to replace all binaries and remove all only binaries since there
is no backwards compatibility is close enough to a reinstall. It is not
literally a reinstall but its enough work that you don't want to do
that very often. For a lot of people it'll also require being physically
in front of a system to do an upgrade unlike most previous releases.
