Perhaps my problem is that until this thread it wasn't
clear to me that the errata page was inherently more
reliable than the mailing list. From a technical
perspective I see no reason why either can't be equally
reliable. How am I to know?
There are so many points to refer to regarding security - Errata
page, misc
mailing list, security-announce, Slashdot. It's easy to get
confused. The

No. Everybody with a clue knows that there is two sources for good
data. The errata page and source-changes. Everything else is just
gravy or noise. Welcome to that club. Now you know everything you
need to and just like the rest of OpenBSD it's simple, elegant,
powerful, and very usable once you stop fighting the system and start
using it.
