I don't really like this approach at all.

No... OpenBSD is a general purpose operating system. Sure, there are some things that OpenBSD excels at and other things that it can improve upon, but let's try to avoid shoehorning. You will miss out on the amazing things OpenBSD can be if you let your imagination sing.

I use OpenBSD everyday for everything - my router, my fileserver, my desktop, my game center, my schoolwork center, my multimedia experience, my social media hub, my jukebox, everything. In fact, the thing I probably use it least of all as is network appliance.

Virtualization is a fact of life in 2014. I for one would love to see someone interested in getting good virtualization host support on OpenBSD. This is something OpenBSD should obviously excel at: a secure, sane virtualization host. But it's not my itch.

And yes, HAMMER2 would be nice as well.
