It looks like the M:tier thing is pretty close, my only concern is how
long it'll last before the maintainers lose interest and the project
gets abandoned.
Handling updates/upgrades in OpenBSD has always been one of the more
difficult parts for ordinary users.
Having said that, Antoine &c. have developed a great service.
As to "lose interest", I think you're missing the fact that m:Tier is a
company, not just another open-source project. They've been around for
over seven (7) years already. If they were going to simply "lose
interest", I think they'd have done so long ago. They do have a regular
website, at www.mtier.org, that fills in all the gaps you were talking
about in a previous post.
You can also *pay* for a subscription, which I would assume - barring
utter insanity on the part of every employee there - would go a long way
towards ensuring they stick around. (Per a previous conversation with
them, you don't have to buy a subscription for every single machine
you're updating - but confirm that with them before basing any plans on
that.)
