Seems like the first step would be to have checksums for all
of the base system.  Then do packages, then consider signatures.
Personally I can live without signatures, but a checksum
(or some form of data integrity verification) is needed.

I submitted a bug about this, google can find it but the
bug tracking system cannot.  Here is a copy for your
amusement.

--------

The MD5 files for OpenBSD 4.4 do not include the X11 files
(xbase44.tgz, xetc44.tgz, ...)

examples:
  ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/alpha/MD5
  ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/amd64/MD5

And the directories with the source files (e.g. src.tar.gz)
don't have checksum files at all.

examples:
  ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/
  ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/
