The result is really painless upgrades -- maybe not in a sense of (attempted) automation like on some other OSes, but in terms of breakages. The time saved by the fact that everything typically Just Works makes up for the few additional manual steps during upgrades, and Nick Holland is so kind to supply very thorough upgradeXY.html documents for every release, outlining any possible "gotcha"s.
That is an important information, thanks. I can't recall how often SuSE messed up an upgrade procedure because they compiled kernel modul xy and shipped them with conflicting userland version yz ... nightmares. I guess I'll risk it with OpenBSD ;) -- Stephan A.
