I'd use OpenBSD if it provided:

1. significantly faster vioscsi(4) driver for VirtIO SCSI adapters -- I can live with vioscsi being up to 2x slower than Ubuntu or FreeBSD, but 5x - 10x slower is probably a deal breaker for some other folks that would like to use OpenBSD on Digital Ocean, Linode, etc.

2. binpatches directly from OpenBSD, similar to the way a third-party is providing them at https://stable.mtier.org/

Other than that, really love OpenBSD and even their man pages are awesome.

Whatever for would you use vioscsi on a laptop? I'm only asking because the original discussion seemed to be somewhat laptop-centric. Apart from that, now that the initial Xen port is breathing (I ran it on EC2 just before 5.9 was cut and almost had a happy heart attack) I suspect the other goodies will follow quickly.
