One of the key strengths of OpenBSD that it is well engineered - and consequently robust and reliable.
Management of the release engineering is key to this. (Cathedral, not bizarre). However, release engineering is no longer mentioned on the home page of www.openbsd.org, and I could find no mention of it anywhere on the site. I wanted to know approximately when the next release would be available to decide whether to install 6.8, a snapshot or wait for 6.9 for a machine I have prepped and am going to configure "real soon now". I also can no longer find architecture-specific change logs (to see if work has been done that might affect Sparc64 installs, and make things different from when I installed 6.8 on this hardware last time). *** I think it is worth making this info more visible both for existing users (eg me) and potential future users *** I believe there will be future users (Netcraft notwithstanding) - people are often p'd off by other operating systems introducing new features they don't need which clobber the old ones they do - and might want to know there is a better way! (Even if they don't use Sparc64). [Written in anticipation of a general drift away from Intel and towards Arm by both server and workstation users]. There is also the possibility that people who have been hit by malware might want a more secure solution. regards Andrew
