Re putting it in a closet and forgetting about it for five years, one thing to note is that according to https://www.openbsd.org/errata70.html OpenBSD's stable branch is supported for one year, so if you were tracking that, you'd have to upgrade every year. NetBSD's stable branch is supported for longer than one year based on https://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal.html#history but they don't say exactly how long. The trend to me looks like at least three years. They currently support their 8 and 9 stable branches which were released on July 17, 2018, and February 14, 2020, respectively. FreeBSD's stable branch is supported for five years according to https://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup And of course there are other BSDs that I haven't listed. Regards, Lewis
