I just got this message and logged in to my amd64 7.8 install to do
syspatch, but the patch was not available. I assumed it's because my
VPS is using a local mirror
(https://mirror.openbsd.amsterdam/pub/OpenBSD) that has not yet been
synchronized.

But then I read on https://www.openbsd.org/errata78.html: "022:
SECURITY FIX: March 15, 2026   All architectures"

March 15? Today is March 13!

What does the security fix date mean in theory and/or practice?
