Sort of, it proves that a psychotic mob of minutiae obsessed sufferers of Autism are capable of incredible productivity in spite of anachronistic tooling.
Cf. people that build houses using pre-19th century technology and refuse to use modern plumbing.
Tools are just means to an end. The OpenBSD devs can write better software with punch cards than you can with a modern language. Take your hipsterer-than-thou attitude and shove it.

I'm a coder that lives inside of Emacs and m-x shell. What about what I just said would make you believe anything other than that I consider the person to be more important than the tool?
Relax, there is no reason to get so worked up about a little trolling. Someone who just two hours ago told us that his favourite tools are emacs and a terminal emulator certainly doesn't have any weight in the anachronistic tool debate.
Most people are unaware of the OpenBSD workflow, and cvs commits are only the final step in it. There is little "active" development done with cvs. It's for the most part used to commit already reviewed patches. Plenty of developers seem to manage their patches with other systems, including git.
