I don't know what tests you're referring to. OpenBSD builds & runs on real hardware. The process of doing that continuously on every arch is what exposes the bugs that are common across all archs but only easily triggered on some. Since you're well versed in logic you clearly understand the implications of moving this process from real hardware to emulators: if the emulators don't expose bugs you can't know if that's because of problems in the emulator itself; if the emulator does expose bugs then you can't know if that's because of bugs in the emulator itself. So, clearly there would have to be some period of first verifying the emulators themselves, which is not something the OpenBSD developers are doing at the moment. Those tests don't exist; that test cycle has never happened before. Brother.
