I know what you are referring to, iirc it's very out of date now. OpenBSD focuses on auditing to try and remove bugs. This is great. But it also makes sense to prepare for bugs as an eventually since you might not have found them to audit them yet. That's why it makes sense to have stuff to help lock the system down, and OpenBSD is very much lacking in that area.

  Pledge and unveil. Also, some sysctl keys to lock up settings and security.

    Yeah, none of that really comes close enough, it's better than nothing though.

This looks worse on NetBSD than it really is; I'd estimate a lot of this is just the sheer number of devices it can run on and how impossible it is to run clean 100% of the time on 100% of systems.
