This seems like a big deal:

One thing to note: this will be the last version of OpenBSD to be pressed on CD. The project will now focus on internet-only distribution, giving much more flexibility in the release schedule.

It does? I was under the impression the only reason anyone still did that was to give something physical to donators.

Now, that OpenBSD runs on Xen (and, by extension, on Amazon EC2), is there an official AMI?

I am not an OpenBSD user, but as in every release I am happy to check the lyrics for the release song, this time we got 6 so it's awesome :)

Perhaps I'm the only person using computers in 2016 who only installs OpenBSD via CD :-)

Yay! I get to spend 5 hours figuring out how to update the syntax for my pf.conf rules.

I still install all my OSes via CD/DVD but I burn them myself from an ISO.

I haven't even owned a computer with a CD/DVD drive in over 10 years.

One thing that drives me mad is that computer manufacturers still distribute recovery images as DVDs, even though the computers the discs are for don't have drives.

What? Where do you see notes about it being changed?
