Businesses fire their worst customers all the time, to allow the business to focus on doing what it does best without adhering to models used in the past to get ahead. Maybe the removal of lynx is not about the low quality of the software and general lack of maintainance moving it forward. Maybe it more of a conspiracy against our worst users, those ready to accept bad software as a part of the better whole. Never know. OpenBSD is not generally known as an exposed democracy.
