Regarding OBSD: I always intended to criticise them carefully here (and 
only here :-P).

    My recommendation is to wait until we release in January before moving.
    While HEAD at this very moment may be stable, a lot of work is going
    into it and there is no guarentee that it will remain that way.
    For example, it is still unclear how the uname changes will effect
    pkgsrc.  And, for example, in the next day or two I will be replacing
    the VM page hash table with per-object Red-Black trees.
Ah, well, I actually wanted to carefully gather info on the actual 
state, I do not want to keep up with it, just a stable snapshot is what 
i need, because the changes in the network driver code affect me 
heavily. PREVIEW has been running stable for me, but e. g. the whole 
source tree has been rearranged since then.
