This argument gets made every few months, but
ultimately the developers get all the votes, and that
won't change.

If you need a feature that's not in OpenBSD, and
don't want to code it, then use something else.
OpenBSD is missing a lot. You'll be in trouble
if you try to use it for everything.

And remember that exactly these policies have
given us OpenBSD as it stands today. Sometimes
it results in major features that are missing.
Sometimes is leads to stuff like PF.
