If you'd bothered to inspect the headers you would have noticed that
the below message was sent before the one that has many replies but
it didn't arrive until about 20 hours after it was sent. Probably
stuck in the pipes somewhere, that seems to happen with misc@ alot.
Rico probably figured it was lost and so he sent another which is
fairly reasonable.

subject Binary kernel and base update
mailed-by openbsd.org
Hi all.
I have noticed that the OpenBSD team puts a lot of emphasis on
using binary
packets rather than building from ports, which I think IMHO is
good, but why
is it that there is no binary kernel updates, rather than patching
the kernel
from source?
I am asking this not from a point that we find this difficult,
rather in
OpenBSD its really easy. But sometimes its very time consuming, and
yes there
exists binpatch and other solutions, but why isn't there an official
OpenBSD way?
Last week management decided to go back to using Debian on some of
our servers
due to them being easy to upgrade including kernel and basesystem
upgrades.
OpenBSD has really made a cool solution with pkg_add -u, but why
not kernel
and basesystem binary updates as well?
Best and kind regards.
