OpenBSD is a software distribution, that can be used as an operating system. To claim OpenBSD is “insignificant” is simply wrong.

OpenBSD components are widely used. OpenSSH is one example used by most of HN.

OpenBSDs libc is also used by Android as another example. Also widely used.

Specific parts of the system are significant. The system as a whole is insignificant. I have no hate for OpenBSD, but those significant parts would find a new home if it didn't exists.
