If you had mentioned FreeBSD, OK, but I think that to claim that OpenBSD
_as an entity_ believes _anything_ (other than `strong crypto good') is a
stretch.
I'd like to see us improve our vendor relations, and I think it's wise
for us to tactically focus on those vendors that present the most unified
fronts. Sun, HP, DEC, SCO, FreeBSD, RedHat, and Microsoft come to mind as
likely candidates.
brian and Dick, I particularly welcome your thoughts on this, as vendor
relations seems clos to your chosen roles.
