You know what I expect?
I expect the OpenBSD response will be excellent, and out on its own

timeframe.  Rushing a fix into place can be worse than not doing

anything at all.  I have no idea what they're doing, have no idea

with whom they may be talking.  But I know that it is being worked

on, and will be a reasoned response to the problem.
More than "expect", I trust OpenBSD.
