+I just upgraded my OpenBSD's from `7.3` to `7.4` by following the unattended upgrade guide:
+
+=> https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade74.html
+
+```shell
+doas installboot sd0 # Update the bootloader (not for every upgrade required)
+doas sysupgrade # Update all binaries (including Kernel)
+``` 
+
+`sysupgrade` downloaded and upgraded to the next release and rebooted the system. After the reboot, I run:
+
+```shell
+doas sysmerge # Update system configuration files
+doas pkg_add -u # Update all packages
+doas reboot # Just in case, reboot one more time
+```
+
+That's it! Took me around 5 minutes in total! No issues, only these few comands, only 5 minutes! It just works! No problems, no conflicts, no tons (actually none) config file merge conflicts.
+
+I followed the same procedure the previous times and never encountered any difficulties with any OpenBSD upgrades.
+
+I have seen upgrades of other Operating Systems either take a long time or break the system (which takes manual steps to repair). That's just one of many reasons why I love OpenBSD! There appear never to be any problems. It just gets its job done!

+BTW: are you looking for an opinionated OpenBSD VM hoster? OpenBSD Amsterdam may be for you. They rock (I am having a VM there, too)!
