+ As the author of a number of the OpenBSD songs, I'll admit that
+ sometimes it's a bit of a chore. Theo bugs me to help him out, often
+ with a theme, and eventually I relent and devote an evening to it.
+ <p>
+ One of the things that we're passionate about is making changes to the
+ software ecosystem that make things safer for all of us - not just
+ OpenBSD. Very often we try techniques, and adopt practices on OpenBSD
+ to make things better across the ecosystem, and hope to encourage
+ others to follow our lead.
+ <p>
+ We've had a lot of great success upstreaming changes and ideas to
+ individual projects, often through the diligent work of the OpenBSD
+ ports developers.  We've had less success promoting things up through
+ standards bodies and other projects.  Too often the world seems caught
+ up in a seemingly suicidal "backward compatibility forever" fervor,
+ exacerbated by standards bodies populated by corporate represention
+ that does not want to make any kinds of disruptive changes that might
+ cause expense.
+ <p>
+ This time, once Theo put the bug in my ear, it didn't take me very
+ long.  I pondered our recent efforts to fix random functions via
+ standards bodies, and considered the real possibility of my being
+ <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160304081847/https://lwn.net/Articles/563285/">
+ harmed by the failure of an embedded 32 bit linux device in 2038</a>,
+ and then this this song just wrote itself in about 10 minutes.
+ <p>
+ Enjoy
+ <p>
