Sigh. Theo, there are lots of ways of interacting with other people:
if you go out of your way to antagonize somebody, the result is
generally not going to be positive. I think Scott is mature enough to
continue to help other BSD projects-- including OpenBSD-- regardless,
but this sort of thing:

...deliberately breaking OpenBSD's support for Adaptec hardware as some
sort of ultimatum is a childish and self-destructive action. I hope
the other OpenBSD committers veto any such action as being
counterproductive and harmful to your users.
Otherwise, you're likely to discover that most people choose to run an
OS which works with the hardware they have, rather than sticking with
OpenBSD.
