DeepSight alert services (Symantec) notified me that OpenBSD has also
fixed the DNS cache poisoning and predictable IP ID weakness. I also
see PRNG related changes to 4.3. If my memory serves me right, my
impression was this was not an issue that bothered OBSD much, and as
such the developers had decided they won't (?) fix it. I would
appreciate to get an insight as to why this change in decision took
place (yeah, I am also okay if I get an answer like "some dev had some
time at hand". :))

My intention is not to question as to why this was fixed, but as to
why a change in decision from "not fix -> fix". Thanks.
