No, what OpenBSD needs is a broader FOSS community that doesn't turn every bump in the road into a referendum on bruised feelings from years ago, and recognizes its indebtedness. I type 'ssh' how many times a day?

Not that I don't understand those feelings. I've spent enough time lurking on openbsd-misc to have seen Theo and friends be beastly. But never without some provocation. And one might wish better impulse control on any number of online personalities.

(And if you find this rude, note that I'm not involved with OpenBSD -- not even on the mailing list anymore -- so blame me, not 'the OpenBSD community'.)
