Don't mistake this as OpenBSD's concern for all BSD's. This is just OpenBSD rant because they isolated themselves by not respecting embargoes in the past. Some ARM CPU's are also vulnerable by the way.
That's an interesting point RE OpenBSD, especially if FreeBSD and NetBSD were included (which I do not know), I suspect this was just down to plain irresponsible incompetence though.
...I've no idea what your ARM comment has to do with it though. Meltdown is Intel specific.
A relevant question however might be who coordinated the work between june 2017 and now for Meltdown mitigations? Project zero at google discovered it, but did they hand over the responsibility to Intel or decide who else to inform themselves?
