Right, just as I said, it is always a good idea to make a project more (language) uniform. But that wasn't my main point.

Since OpenBSD still compiles on a VAX, removing C++ from the build is a decent feature. As you say, OpenBSD has function with bounds checking and that seems to satisfy their requirements. Also, they haven't achieved language purity and I don't think they are trying.
