> probably doing what everybody is doing for mitigation

Is there any discussion? I thought OpenBSD development mostly took place on public mailing lists ?

Some issues tend to attract a lot of lookie loos. The patch probably won't be improved by a dozen replies about the incompetence of intel.

I understand their need and priority, but sometimes those discussions are a great way to learn about the vulnerability - open development teaches others.

I don't disagree. I prefer more open development and try to encourage it, but everyone has their own preferences for what to share.
