Makes sense

Why are OpenBSD people always so rude and defensive? Sheesh

Because there is a limited amount of maintainers and a clearly stated goal/direction. There are also a lot of people requesting features that don't actually contribute to the goal or don't even use OpenBSD. It is a way to manage resources.

There is also the sentiment "if you need it you implement and maintain it" hence if someone is requesting without any investment it doesn't seem like they are serious.


Digital AIDS?

Jesus.


There seem to be one group of people that seem to take offence by people being hyperbolic (which this is) and another group of people that aren't. I personally find it baffling why anyone would be bothered by that comment.
