Thanks. I hope so, too.

I have considered adding this capability. I did not dismiss it out-of-hand. Here's a summary:

Technical considerations:
Managing existing MBR partitions
Managing multiboot environments
Partitioning decision making
This would require a "fork" of OpenBSD. Since it would not be a standard installation, the OpenBSD Project would rightly not support any users. So I have policy considerations, too:
How do I keep questions off the OpenBSD mailing lists?
How would I do the same for IRC, Usenet, and forums like this one?
How would one poor schmo possibly support production users when he has a career and a life?
