Just keeps getting better and better every release. I wish they would add an easy encryption option in the installer. You can enable full disk encryption, but you have to mess with the bioctl settings, which potentially scares off new users.
The OpenBSD developers are not too thrilled to hear about these sorts of issues, but looks like sysupgrade installed sets I didn't have before (x*66.tgz, game66.tgz).
And yeah, you're right, even light criticism on the OpenBSD lists is met with a very strong and negative reaction. That said, I think improvement suggestions that come with a diff and a constructive attitude are generally well received.
Also sysupgrade is a pretty brief ksh script, so fairly easy to see what it's doing.

OpenBSD developers have not really made it official but basically you're supposed to install them all. Theo has hinted at merging them before. syspatch(8) also assumed them to be installed IIRC.
Can't wait to try if this release will improve wireless performance when configured as an AP, until now I have never been able to get speeds above 10 Mbps with OpenBSD.
That said, I just ran a speed test on my Thinkpad and got 50Mbps.

OpenBSD only supports 802.11n currently. From what I've read, not having direct knowledge, 802.11ac is much more complex to implement and no one is currently working on it. That said, I just ran a speed test on my Thinkpad and got 50Mbps.

Love the release poster for this one.
Is there any way to buy a print, or get a high-quality image for printing at home? The expanded version on the website is a pretty gnarly non-animated GIF.

It does that. You can hack the script to only install partial sets, but you're encouraged to install all the sets. I've seen at least one mention on the mailing list about merging the sets because the recommendation is to always install all of them anyway. They're just files on disk if you're not using them.
As noted elsewhere, the developers recommend installing all sets. I personally prefer to avoid installing the X sets on servers.
