    OpenBSD has managed to drop KDE3 and KDE4 in the 6.8 -> 6.9 release cycle. That makes me very happy because it was a big piece of work and long discussions.

On the whole, the most work was updating QtWebengine.

22.  CPU affinity comes to OpenBSD
    This commit adds support for CPU affinity to OpenBSD. This will help SMP performance by keeping processes on the same core/CPU if possible, in order to prevent cache flushing and having to repopulate it on the new CPU. It might also pave the way for things like NUMA and improvements in scheduler locking, since it adds per-CPU scheduler queues.
