OpenBSD has a new release every 6 months, which includes a new set of packages. Or you can help test -current snapshots, which has at least on amd64/i386 new packages generally every 24 hours, depending on the point in release cycle we're in, or if a hackathon is in progress.

This is no longer true. If people want to build their own -stable packages, they can use dpb(8), the distributed ports builder. This is used by the official ports build clusters.

Many OpenBSD developers would like for there to be -stable packages, and that may even happen again someday. But it requires a level of commitment and coordination from many people, who might be otherwise preoccupied (ports development happens on -current). All I can say on that front is stay tuned.
