It was always "interesting" to me to see that it was reliably the most off-piste, bespoke, hardened, and locked-down configurations of general-purpose OSes (like OpenBSD) that got pwn'd in sweeps. Modern (as in, post 1990) OSes and CPUs just leave too many services hanging out for that not to be true over time, and nobody is djb except djb. So we have to find other ways forward. And seamless upgrades are the most powerful tool invented yet.
