Dear Theo, I respect you as a person and I respect your work.
This said, I can also tell you that, after a few years reading misc@, there is still one thing that I do not understand about your "colourful" answers to several mails. Not all the people who run obsd can, for various personal reasons of their own, contribute as a coder. But they still can contribute as users, reporting problems or making suggestions. This does not necessarily mean they "order" you what to do or not to do, don't take it personally. They just love to run obsd, so they try to do their best. My grandpa taught me that when people don't tell you things it's because they just don't care anymore. With their detailed answers, for instance, Stuart, Giancarlo and Ingo showed attention to my problem as a user, analyzing things just on a logical viewpoint. I perfectly accept their polite way of answering. Here nobody was making making a wishlist for obsd like "I want zfs, xfs, ext4, pf multicore, etc.". The point is that here, often, the moment you got used to a tool, the day after it's gone/modified. This creates frustration in the average user, like me. Of course we're still a pkg_add away but, hey, isn't denying to consider that most people will keep using that tool a contradiction? Yes, base will be pure and safe, but at the same time it will diminish functionality, depending more and more from packages. This said, this is your OS, delete everything you like! Just be respectful, please.
