Nature does not recognize entitlement. That said I can guarantee that the OpenBSD project pays more attention to its users then other OS'. This does not mean that the users get to set the road-map. When an idea is not good the author is told so, usually, in strong language. The opposite is Linux and other unnamed BSDs where everyone agrees with each other paralyzing proper development. A stupid idea is still a stupid idea and it isn't magically going to mature like a good wine.
