Thanks for highlighting this. For me, OpenBSD releases needed so few fixes that keeping the system up to date wrapped around, and become more of a hassle to deal with! I'd get an email and have to manually rebuild something. Watching yet another flood of compiler output started feeling like a huge waste of time, despite only happening once every month or two.
For personal use, on debian I set a cron job and forget it. This utility hits the sweet spot to get me running OpenBSD again.
You can specify the types of updates to auto install (ie I use security updates only automatically).

I'm not sure this has been reported before / correctly:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=837155 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=719597
Maybe give the maintainers a prod with a link to that thread?
