So you say that the patch should go into OPENBSD_3_9 branch after 3.9 is *officially* released? Well, I wonder how people who pre-orded their CDs, got them, installed 3.9-RELEASE and run Sendmail are going to patch their systems?
I got 3.8 almost 2 weeks early, and seem to remember applying -stable that day, (though I don't believe there were needful security patches at the time). What I would have found unusual is to not have security patches applied to the tree. Just because upgrading via CVS will most likely hose your system, doesn't mean that once upgraded properly it shouldn't be available. CDs went out almost a month early this time around, which would have made for an awkward situation, even with the manual patches available.
