Fair enough, I didn't know the history of this.

My own curiositiy, what was the struggle people had? I admit, I might be
minimising the difficulty of searching via Google 'openbsd adding sets after
install,' or perhaps there is some behind the scenes install bits that I've
missed that do not take place when adding the set after-the-fact?

Cheers,
Jeff

Years of experimentation have proven that performing that search is
among the most difficult tasks you can ask a computer user to perform.
