I am sorry if my words were interpreted as yelling. I thought I was
engaging in insightful argument :) As for the warranty, I think you
described the situation much better than analogy with the sticker,
that's how I see things as well.

Nope, OpenBSD is orders of magnitude more suitable for this particular
use case than Linux, or even FreeBSD.

Actually you _are_ writing software which works great even with my weird
tweak. Syspatch is a drop in the ocean of OpenBSD goodness. I can still
use all of the other great components without any problems whatsoever.
Hell, I can, with very little effort, further tweak my weird tweak so
syspatch can continue to update my weird setups, and that is also great.

Once again, thanks to all OpenBSD developers for all the great stuff
they provide. Still, I think syspatch have no real reason to refuse
updating mfs-based file systems. And I also think that "component X of
OpenBSD won't do Y" should not be worded as "not supported by OpenBSD".
