You're right, it is a BSD is dying post, only a decade later.

I agree with everything that you said. In an ideal world, we could all convince our colleagues that Docker and SELinux and Apparmor and such things are crap, and that everyone should be using OpenBSD alternatives. This is nothing but wishful thinking, however.

I wish the industry (and Cisco) would know about OpenBSD and wish to use it, but alas, this is not the case.

Yes, the main use is a fairly narrow part of possible uses, and introducing a whole new OS, package system and command set just because you prefer pf over nftables seems like something most of your colleagues would be a little disgruntled with.
