I'm not trying to insult you or dispute what you wrote. I'm just telling you, again, that it does not make sense.
You keep repeating that all OpenBSD tries to do is audit to find bugs, but that is very obviously not all that they do to prevent exploitation and post-exploitation issues. I'm not sure why you keep doing that. This is one of the parts that doesn't make sense to me.
You say that unveil or pledge aren't enough or aren't as good as SELinux. There is nothing technical about saying that. That's just your opinion that others do not share. I'm not even commenting on whether or not I agree or disagree with you about that. However, you aren't making a point in expressing this opinion. That's something else that doesn't make sense to me.
So, do you want to try to explain what point you're trying to make again? The whole thing. All I'm getting from the things you're saying is that you love SELinux and you have almost no understanding of any other aspect of what OpenBSD does beyond auditing code.

It's fine that it doesn't make sense to YOU, but you shouldn't confuse that with it not making sense objectively, which it does.
OpenBSD doesn't literally ONLY try to audit bugs, but it is the bulk of their work and they prioritize that over addin or improving mechanisms to lockdown and prevent exploitation issues.
Others can disagree that pledge or unveil are not as good as SELinux, but they would be wrong. It isn't a subjective issue, and you would have to be rather ignorant of the differences to insist it is. SELinux removes the concept of an all powerful root user, and can grant every process the specific minimum access it needs. Pledge and unveil don't come close to offering anything like that.
Then you say I'm not making a point...even though you clearly here disagree with the point I supposedly didn't make. Are you by chance on the spectrum? Just trying to understand your issues with what I wrote, it's quite odd.
I'm not interested to explain anything further as I don't think it would be productive in proportion to the effort I would have to expend. I'm mainly just curious to see where this goes at this point.

You've got the wrong guy, ace. Have a good day.
