For the interest factor (and since I can't find the email it's just hearsay), I sent an email to the OpenBSD sparc mailing list in December 2005 and to my surprise, received an out-of-office on-holidays bounce back from someone in the Pentagon Army Operations Center! However, governments the World over staffed with people who hate their jobs, have difficulty getting public transport working. So how they're supposed to accredit something as complex as an OS is beyond me! That sort of crap is for arse covering anyway. For washing ones hands of the problem and being able to claim to have performed due diligence, even if they know it's a bullshit exercise.
