So you are complaining OpenBSD is better now then 5 years ago ? This is how software should progess, each release something improves. OpenBSD releases more then 2 release ago are not supported.
>would not have been possible for the author to evangelise about anywhere more than 5 years ago (sysupgrade @ OpenBSD 6.6)
I upgraded from 6.5 to 6.6, it was easy. The only difference beween then and now was I had to manually remove some files. Some people has to update config. But it was still easy, you just had to follow detailed instructions.

>Hence my statement ... lets not pretend OpenBSD has always been like this, because it has not.
So :) Software is suppose to improve as it is updated, OpenBSD has been improving in spite of the size of their team.
>For the past 2 years I've used OpenBSD as my primary OS for work, play, everything. It just works
Above quote from the article, he has been on OpenBSD fully for 2 years, so from his prespective it is easy.
Yes, many years ago OpenBSD was harder, but now upgrades and installing is close to trivial. So since it is "today" his article is fine by me.
Except non-amd64/i386 is much harder, the above is only for amd64 and i386
