We also owe the OpenBSD team OpenSSH, which greatly benefits from their attention to detail and commitment to small improvements towards better security.

Of course software is never perfect, but it's nice to know the (small) subset of OpenBSD developers working on OpenSSH are still working on keeping the proverbial doors locked.

Yes, the OpenBSD team's willingness to roll up their sleeves for software that I consider core to a functional Internet is pretty remarkable. Even though the last OpenSSL vulnerability also affected LibreSSL, in the past others haven't.

EDIT: Morning brain made context shift unclear. They do OpenSSH and now LibreSSL. Also pf and more too.
