Seriously? I'd recommend doing some more research before making that claim. Your example in a later comment speaks to the area of Privilege Separation, discussed (and implemented) ad nauseam throughout nearly every application that is maintained by the OpenBSD project.

Privilege separation is also a nice feature, but it is not the same as MAC.

I would have much greater confidence in an OpenBSD project that included lomac or capsicum.
