Do you mean "OpenBSD manual page server", which clearly states OpenBSD's the just the server. >From the NAME section: "security — NetBSD security features" >From the DESCRIPTION section: "NetBSD supports a variety of security features" >From the footer: "May 21, 2016 NetBSD-8.1"
On the entire page OpenBSD is only mentioned once, NetBSD 16 times, not including the drop down menu allowing you to select your operating system + version of choice. To me this feels similar to someone coming to the list and asking why they can't find snmpctl on their OpenBSD 6.6 machine, because some search engine send them to a 6.5 or older page.
