Has the OpenBSD project ever considered offering a subscription to the

Yes we have considered it, and no, we won't be doing it.
Understood. You consider it to be too risky.
And you could have googled before you became the 50th person to ask
the same question.
Also understood. In fact, Martin made this point quite succinctly.
I've since picked myself up, dusted off, and vowed not to make the
same mistake again.
I'm considering doing this on my own, unofficially. I'd be ordering and
remailing official CDs, of course. And being in the US, I'd only be able
to ship within the US. If I got in early on the pre-orders, which I've
been doing anyway, I could get them back out in a timely fashion.
Also, does anyone know if the existing BSD subscription places are using
official CDs? If so, I'd only be duplicating effort.
Is there much interest in this?
Back when Walnut Creek was doing the FreeBSD CD's, I had a subscrition
to those. Even though I always downloaded, I continued this, as I assumed
the money went to the project.
I'd strongly consider doing this for OpenBSD, if it was possible to
do.
If you prefer to download but would like to contribute to the project
then consider using the recurring donations (goes through PayPal). More
