The PAX&#x2F;grsec people generally appear confounded by this, claiming their patch was first and that they were #1. The reality is that even today their patches remain largely uncommitted <i>patches</i>, and as a community, they didn&#x27;t push as hard as OpenBSD did and continues to do with upstream projects. They much rather publicly attack OpenBSD, which has historically ignored them preferring to do actual work.<p>The software ecosystem as a whole has gained far more from OpenBSDs efforts than that of the PAX&#x2F;grsec teams.
