For many many years I've been typing

   example.com

without leading www. Back in the 1990s nytimes.com didn't work, and 
www.nytimes.com did. But since then it's very rare for a "major" site to expect 
people to type the leading www.

I've been tracking/using OpenBSD since around version 2.4 and I wasn't aware of 
the non-www distinction until the issue came up recently on misc.

I suggest that there are many clueless people like me out there. The default 
behavior should be changed. opendbsd.org should redirect to www.openbsd.org, 
and the people who need to access the machine in Theo's basement should go to 
cvs.openbsd.org.
