That part doesn't look like a "dig" or an insult to me. It seems like a reasonable, relevant, and plausible assessment of how the long-term outcomes may likely differ between OpenBSD's stricter approach versus a looser approach, specifically when it comes to the degree of security offered (which is one of OpenBSD's main focuses), based on a past situation that's similar. How do you know that you aren't being, to use your words, "quick to take offense where none was meant" in this case?
