I don't understand, how can some wacky desktop be harmful to OpenBSD if they introduce low-level dependencies difficult to port over? I don't think any OpenBSD user are even interested in using systemd, pulseaudio or any of those end-user applications. OpenBSD is for servers and such, only very technical users have it as a "desktop".

It's interesting how many people in this thread apparently have authoritative knowledge of what others should use OpenBSD for. You are utterly wrong.

I want KMS, I want to be able to install Gnome and see what they are up to. Not that I care about Gnome, but it should work if at all possible. There are a lot of users and developers who want a well working modern desktop running OpenBSD.
