Hi,
jca@OpenBSD.org here, I'm the maintainer of the GNU Emacs port in the
OpenBSD ports tree[0].
I can confirm what Yasuoka-san wrote, the OpenBSD project only provides
some kind of support for the two latest OpenBSD releases[1]. We highly
discourage the use of old OpenBSD releases.
As the maintainer of the Emacs port, OpenBSD 5.3 and older releases are
completely out of scope. I mostly care about our development branch, if
security fixes in Emacs need to be adressed in our stable releases,
I would probably handle them as patches backported from newer Emacs
versions, not as updates to newer Emacs versions.
So as far as I am concerned the proposed change can land in any upcoming
Emacs release, the sooner the better. Since Yasuoka-san is also an
OpenBSD developer he has already pushed this change in our Emacs port[2]
with my approval. Many thanks to him!
