It's a mistake to make this association.
OpenBSD people chose "security" as an argument to describe what the OS
is. It's true and I believe it can attract more users, but on the other
side, people seem to think OpenBSD is ONLY used when you need security,
like a firewall, router, etc.
OpenBSD is a GENERIC OS which can be used to do _almost_ every task a
computer system is able to.
