Interesting! From the FAQ: "OpenBSD is an amazing project and has some of the best code around but some of us are of the opinion that it could use a bit of modernization. OpenBSD is a very security conscious project and, correspondingly, has to be more conservative with features. We want to be less restrictive with the codebase when it comes to experimenting with features."
Sounds like it wants to be Ubuntu to OpenBSD's Debian. I hope we see some neat stuff from these folk.
