I can think of several examples where that's not true.

Filling 2/3 of an 80x24 terminal at login by default
seems quite a lot especially when a lot of it says many of the same things

You're right but I also don't think filling 2/3 of an 80x24 terminal with bug reporting guidance is useful either. How about simply:
'''
Welcome to OpenBSD: The proactively secure Unix-like operating system.

New users can type "help" for information about using the system.

'''

I won't belabor the point the further.
