we really love to see what we can get away with using nothing other than what's available in the base distribution

pkg_add sqlite3

Can't get away.

Berkeley DB with a header date of 1994 :) In base, and of course it still works.

Sqlite was removed from base, again, in 6.1 (2019) --https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade61.html

with this BSDCAN '18 pdf briefly explaining the issues (unmaintainable) -- https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan18-mandoc.pdf

I believe Sqlite was in base when BCHS was first presented. That and you can just grap the big single c file version of sqlite, no need for a package.
OK to be honest let me amend that, because you make a valid if not snarky point!

We like seeing what we can get away with using what's available in the base distribution and a few well-chosen, well-audited packages
