Who is being misled? (from an outsider) The overriding purpose of the snapshots and their files and the names of those files is to assist the OpenBSD folk in producing their semiannual release of the next stable release of OpenBSD. Guessing games as to which snapshot and exactly how the developers proceed from snapshot to CD is unlikely to be productive. I expect the exact path is never closely duplicated from one release to the next. Apparently sometimes the new will not even compile on the old. OpenBSD is one of very few places not firmly committed to preserving old mistakes.
