Pat would you prefer folks to post requests only for stuff they *need* rather than just stuff that happens to be available, or do you find these reports helpful?
As an example, we're a few releases behind with git now: 2.6.4 vs 2.7.2, but I wouldn't say I actually *need* the the latest version.
More a request for 14.1 than -current, really: Firefox 45 is the new ESR version, replacing 38. It's probably time to consider upgrading, since 38esr is slated to stop receiving security updates about a month from now following the release of 38.8.0esr.
I like when using sudo on OpenBSD because the insults are turned on. So when you mistype your password you'll get a very mild insult about your intelligence. It's similar to fortune in that it's not really necessary but a bit funny.
