I agree. This mailing list is an oven (and like an oven, comes out
with deliciousness in the end).

Anyway, I don't think of OpenBSD as a 'secure' system, I think of it
as a 'correct' system, and security is a side effect of that that's
good for marketing. Doesn't seem like Linus gets that. I could see
Linus' complaint better applied to SELinux or any of the thousands of
"hardened" linux distros, which try to build in security after the
fact and make a big deal of it.
