So did Ubuntu or Debian. But I am talking nowadays. And yes, back then I wasn't using OpenBSD.

  > So did Ubuntu or Debian According to Wikipedia, Debian has had apt since 1998. My point is OpenBSD didn't have binary updates until well into the 2000's as mentioned above. Initially in 2017 with syspatch and the finally full coverage in 2019 when sysupgrade came along. As you can see on some old OpenBSD Mailing List posts[1] there was a high degree of resistance to the very idea of binary updates. People even being called trolls when they brought up the subject[2] or being told they "don't understand the philosophy of the system"[3] I just felt it was an important point of clarification on your original post. Yes, I agree, OpenBSD updates are painless ... now, today. But until very recent history they were far from painless.

  The only real problem I can remember with Debian was the transition from Lilo to grub ... And there was something with ... Postgres ? At some point? Both of course upstream issues that couldn't be helped.
