We have something like >4G of source code between source, X, and ports
in OpenBSD. If that's not sufficient coverage, then I don't know what is.
Guys, OpenBSD is not a niche OS. We compile a heck of a lot of stuff.
H.J., I also have a problem taking your statement seriously, considering
how often your patches break stuff that is not linux. Should we demand
that you test your patches on ALL OSes that use i386 before committing
a 386 change ?
