        And this is exactly the problem. Look, you guys can quibble
all you want about "awww, we should be able to make our own distros"
Yes, you can. 

        However, you won't be able to make your own distro when OpenBSD
ceases to exist for financial reasons. Free software still costs money
to produce, and all the talk about "well I should donate" does not translate
into dollars. 

        Unless people buy CD's, you may not see future releases. it's that
simple. We all love doing this, but without money to maintain a place to
do it and someone to look over it, it isn't going to continue.
