The impending release of #OpenBSD 7.7 looks really really good! Lots of SMP and networking improvements!

These two items caught my eye:

1. Removed the ability to specify a root, dump or swap device on st(4).

2. Fixed a 24-year old bug where various checks for broadcast packets were mistakenly skipped, allowing one to send broadcast packets without the SO_BROADCAST option.

Who would try sticking their root disk on st(4)?!? 😂
