I'm curious what the project will be like when we don't have threads
like this anymore:

Well, to be honest it was really easy to find what it was on google,
but what an asshole way of answering!

Theo has mellowed out a lot.  He used to threaten to beat people up
for saying things on mailing lists.

Theo woke up that day and chose violence.

Oh, he sound just like the boss I wouldn’t like to have, ever.

Theo just being Theo.

As soon as I saw the initial question in the thread I kinda winced...

.. because you just know what's coming.

Wait… doesn’t PPM mean “Theo de Raadt is an a$$4ole”?
I asked chatGPT and that’s what it said.

Looks like Theo traded punches for patches! Good for him!

Not sure of the question, you seem to be asking what happens when Theo
retires then morph into a email thread.

* Succession, I think that is up to the OpenBSD Foundation

* Email ?  What can you say, it is what it is.  It really did not
bother me.  I hope the same for the person he responded to.  He seems
to be running the project well and the end result is great, project
members are OK working with Theo, so he is doing something right.

I can see why chatGPT user base has gone down.....

Fork it if you want but don't start to bring your fragility into a
~30yo successful project.
