Hello folks,

  Due the release of OpenBSD 3.1 on May 19th, the 2.9-STABLE branch will
be out of regular maintainance starting June 1st.  After this day, there
will be NO MORE fixes commited to this branch.

  People relying on 2.9-STABLE are strongly advised to upgrade to a more
recent release (preferrably 3.1 as it becomes available) as soon as
possible.

  Thanks for reading,
Miod

This is the first one of these I have ever seen. Even though I am not of the conspiratorial bent, it makes me wonder if it has something to do with 2.9 being the last release with ipf.

Those trying to cling to IPF should really pay attention to the improvements pf has been making [as well as OpenBSD-current as a whole]. Initial apprehension over a 'new' product should pretty much have blown over by now - especially given the benefits of some new improvements and directives [e.g. scrub].
