I guess that is one way to interpret my message.
I was just referencing a thread here a few weeks ago where multiple people
were mentioning they are very much interested in Skylake support and willing
to donate to make it happen. I am very thankful for OpenBSD and have
purchased several versions on disk as a way of saying thank you. I was not
bragging. When a contribution is made that significantly increases the value
of OpenBSD for me, I will show appreciation by donating.
I really like this project and would like to make it my ‘daily driver’
system.
