Mark Cox claims that the reason OpenBSD was not told is because OpenBSD is not on the distros mailing list and if we were then "they'd be able to work with other distros on issues in advance." It's at http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros . Not saying I believe or disbelieve him, but it can't hurt to join even if it is only until 5.6 comes out. - Matthew Martin
