It seems this is the last version to have Nginx in the base install. 5.7 Will only ship their in-house httpd(8) as the default web server, although Nginx will still be available in ports.

OpenBSD 5.6 isn't quite released yet, it's still not on the master site. The announcement will undoubtedly be going out soon though, and it's on a few mirrors if you wish to jump the gun.
Hm, ripping kerberos from libssl I can understand -- but from base? Does that mean that openssh certificate is what people are using for federated authentication? While kerberos <i>is</i> complex and complected -- are there any solutions that are better, if you require administrating a non-trivial number of users, along with a good way to immediatly revoke access as users leave the organization?
