OpenBSD is an OS with amazing security and stability, but it has too
few modern features.

'Modern' is an adjective used by and on people subject to the
influence of advertising and PR.  "All New!"  "Now in an Orange
Box"  "We've changed our logo!"  Engineering adjectives are:
correct, useful, secure, high-performance, low-latency, scalable,
small footprint, etc.  These are challenging adjectives in that
they demand that someone be able to evaluate and compare technical
attributes, not merely read a calendar.
