That's not accurate, if I'm reading your comment correctly, as someone
who's run both OpenBSD -stable and -current nodes for a very long time.
* For the stable version, OpenBSD updates the ports when there is a
notable issue, but it does not generate updated packages. Therefore, one
could run an updated Tor server on an OpenBSD -stable box as long as one
uses the ports tree to maintain Tor.
* Running -current as a Tor server is common also, as OpenBSD -current
rarely has any issues.
