Based on that mailing list post and other things I've seen, I'm a little concerned that OpenBSD lacks sufficient funding or that Theo De Raadt is burnt out enough not to care (which would be completely understandable; I'm certainly wouldn't blame him after his long, insufficiently remunerated, Herculean efforts). That would be a much bigger issue than the availability of CDs.
OTOH, he also suggests that the OpenBSD Foundation could be generating enough revenue. Does anyone know? Relevant excerpts from Theo's mailing list post:
I made 40 CD releases in 20 years, investing personal effort and risk to build and sustain the costs of this project and sub-projects.
I do not want to keep making CDs to sustain myself and the project anymore. Other ways need to work now.
and
The CDs haven't pulled in sustaining revenue for many years.
Based upon income from contributors the Foundation performs a
fantastic function -- making worries and problems disappear.
