Good for you. Many others don't. Most of all, many developers don't. There is little tolerance for supporting people's broken-ass ideas on "hacking" the system. This isn't a new thing. Custom kernels don't usually find support either. If you can't reproduce a problem in GENERIC that you shows up in your custom kernel, you're on your own (or at the graces of someone with time to blow.) If you mix stable & current and wonder why it's not working, you're on your own. If you strip out too much of the operating system without understanding what you're doing and want to come to the list to fix it, you're on your own. If you've tried "optimizing" in gcc and now your OS is all fukt, you're on your own. This is a list for discussion of OpenBSD, not "I was hacking my openbsd and now its all b0rked and i want someone to help me put it back together again." DS
