I'm waiting for OpenBSD to give up on creating a modern kernel and focus on what they do best: create hardened network applications & a clean base system. A freebsd / openbsd fusion would give linux a run for their money.

I wish that were so. *BSDs (all of them) still lack HA and failover clustering software. Until that is there, *BSD is not a viable alternative.
CARP and pfsync can provide a virtual IP address managed by a cluster to act as a frontend to N web servers, but AFAIK (and no I haven't RTFA) they don't have anything else to help like a clustered filesystem, a web server that clusters so sessions can fail over within the cluster or anything fancy like that.

Ironic in a story about an OS release that features improved HA networking.
