FWIW, +1. You may be paranoid, but not everyone has to be (or suffer the consequences of it). Security issues should be fixed without breaking things in a hassle (which is the policy we followed e.g. for the ssl module, or hash randomization). The whole python.org infrastructure is built on an OS kernel written by someone who thinks security issues are normal bugs. AFAIK there is no plan to switch to OpenBSD.
