Peter, It is up to *you* to see whats changing. You have two ways to do that. The first is going to the daily change log (http://openbsd.org/plus.html) to get a descritpion of recent changes. This isn't always right up to date, though. Still, its a description of whats been happening in english as opposed to the second form. That second form is the cvs changes list, and not many people being subscribed to that is no excuse if one really wants to learn about the system. Sure, at first its an alien world, but you have all the src tree to look at, and with time you'll have at least a toplevel understanding of whats going on. I'd rather have things this way, and let Theo et al work rather than bogging them down in perpetual questions. --STeve Andre'
