What you’re saying is valid, but I’m not suggesting that “show me the code” comes with no downsides. Rather, I’m disputing the parent’s portrayal of OpenBSD’s development style as “real man programming.”

I’m an OpenBSD developer (mostly a packager). IMO you’ve mischaracterized both Theo’s response and OpenBSD’s culture. If OpenBSD has a culture, it’s not “real men,” but “show me the code.” That’s plain from the mail linked in the post you r

Okay, suppose someone backporting a Rust update runs a big batch of tests and finds, say, two dozen packages with regressions. Now what? Spend two weeks investigating all the test failures? Backporting updates to these packages as well, all
