An idea for NetFlix would be to have a higher tier package that has access to content for longer. So if the average agreement for access to material is six months, people with the higher tier package have access to it for six months and pe

That's not entirely accurate. You do get updates, they're just on the patch branch. See http://www.openbsd.org/errata57.html . Running -stable is fairly simple. If you don't want to rebuild on your DigitalO
