OpenBSD is one of the last software systems we can trust will not run untrusted/unaudited code. It is like a small island in an ocean of compromised software. Considering the number of exploits, backdoors and other firmware hacks in the wild (from both our governments and theirs), there really isn't much software left one can trust. If OpenBSD ever runs blobs, then there will be nothing left standing between us and the spooks. Blobs are perfect vessels for military technology. Equation Group ring a bell? One can not overstate the importance of standing by this principle. We must preserve these islands of security and openness. Without them we are at the mercy of not just our spooks, but all of them. Sir de Raadt, please never give in. Dexter Santucci
