I'm one of them, but I'm not a newbie, I'm a Linux sysadmin (more or less 30 years now) and I use OpenBSD mainly as a server platform so I do not install x*, games and comp. I used all the sets once, when I tried OpenBSD on my laptop. And I hate when sysupgrade installs all the sets regardless I have originally installed them or not, but, as someone already said, the storage is cheap now. As veduma.
