It is charming how anti-climactic such upgrades tend to be. Also, the art and music for 6.9 are delightful.

Goodness me, thank you for pointing this out. The songs are back as of 6.8 and I thought they finally kicked the bucket after 6.2. Below is a link for the 6.9 release song, it is – as you say – really nice:

Yeah, the most time consuming thing for me is if a PostreSQL upgrade is required on the machine. Other than that, sysupgrade, package upgrades, and a quick reboot seem to be the norm.

From the 6.9 upgrade guide:

There was a major update to PostgreSQL 13.1. Use pg_upgrade as described in the postgresql-server pkg-readme or do a dump/restore.

sysupgrade has needed me to force a manual hardware reboot at the end each time I've used it. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Yes, it's called a patched kernel.

[bangonkeyboard]

No, upgrading OpenBSD manually prior to sysupgrade never required me to physically hold the power button on the machine.

I bet you did not made a bug-report right?
