If something isn't randomized that could be, it's probably because it's really hard or would break stuff that people really need to work. If you think you know of something that could be randomized with no costs or downsides, you should research it (who else has tried it?), or implement it yourself, or at least work through the consequences enough to demonstrate that it won't make people hate you afterwards. If you have to ask "What about <blah>?", then you're still unsure of the costs and consequences, so stop, go back, and figure them out! Or are you expecting OpenBSD developers to field, implement, and test every random (heh) suggestion about randomization? Philip Guenther
