    Bigger platforms attract more devs.

    The BSDs don’t have the dev resources of Linux simply because Linux has a much larger install base.

      Really?

      I don’t think OpenBSD is as funded as Debian but it could maintain software like OpenSSH (even the portable version for Linux and Windows); LibreSSL (still not much used, but funded because of this), OpenSMTPD.

      But OpenBSD can maintain its ports which in my opinion is relatively large (no update for -release, sorry :) ). And base. For so many hardware platform. Even VAX until 6.9

        Yeah, really. OpenBSD punches above its weight. There are many things they would like todo, but don’t have the resources.
