Indeed, given the recent plight of NetBSD, it seems OpenBSD is poised to gain new support and momentum. Perhaps the potential demise of one BSD is simply to the benefit of another?
You only need to constantly update if you go "bleeding edge". Like all major distributions, Gentoo has a stable branch. It greatly eases maintainence. Personally I like to stay up to date and found the need to compile so much to be more hassle than it's worth - especially when packages break and then you're in for some waiting - so I switched to Ubuntu which satisfies my needs.
