Theo de Raadt is arrogant and impatient but within sane human limits.  
He's also hugely talented, of which nobody has accused Richard Morrell.  
In fact comparisons between the OpenBSD and Smoothwall coding styles were 
made on uk.c.o.l, not to Smoothwall's credit.

On the one hand, they do seem to have got the service lockdown/config 
right.  On the other, their approach to secure coding is a little behind.
