Theo:In this useful paper http://cvs.openbsd.org/papers/brhard2007/ you explain very good the situation. Great.
Maybe is totally off-topic, but ?would it helps in some way to create a web section listing the reasonable and bastard vendors? I think it would be useful in two points:
* helps to OpenBSD community to choose the right hardware * make good or bad publicity depending on real vendor's position Anyway it's only an idea. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent
