Some of us *cough* argued going to hex numbering for the version following 2.9 would be an excellent idea. OpenBSD 3.9 is a great operating system with numerous improvements over previous versions. We can reasonably expect version 4.0 to be a further improvement in six monts' time, as we can expect of version 4.1 to be the result of a further six month's worth of excellent development effort. That's the way it works. Don't read a lot of other marketing hype into the version numbers. -- Peter N. M.
