Yeah. After learning that 25 has Webkit support and 26 has threads, I
have made resolution to manually compile Emacs for myself. Since I am
yet to install OpenBSD, I have no idea what are defaults there and
whether I would like them, but it looks like I have to check for such
things nowadays. Which makes inclusion of 21 even more understandable
and plausible safe choice.
