This is very good news as I love and use both software a lot.
Reading the original post from rsadowski@, it turns out the motivation behind it all is a pretext to use LLMs. Given the amount of patches submitted, I truly hope this code was thoroughly reviewed and remains (even if machine-generated) secure and at the same quality level as what we're used to with OpenBSD software.

I may be misreading it, but it sounds like he wanted to start coding (for real) again after, presumably, being convinced or coerced to use LLMs at work for a while?
