With the recent push from OpenBSD to open firmwares to redistribution as well as obtaining new documentation for several wireless chipsets it would seem OpenBSD is pushing for other areas to open up as well.

You say it is hard to take OpenBSD seriously for this, yet is it really any easier to take someone seriously if they have no backbone what so ever? Is it better that they simply wait half a year for something they don't want instead of just saying that they want something else?
The Adaptec guy seems to be off his rocker and thinks that OpenBSD wants the source to Adaptec's GUI software, yet all they are asking for is documentation to right a driver.
And this conversation has been going back and forth for four months, how could Adaptec ont understand this idea after four months? That must mean they are trying to screw with OpenBSD, which would get be angry in such a situation.
If support is pulled for something then it is because the support that was there was not good enough to be worth having. If you ended up with that case, perhaps you should talk to Adaptec or not upgrade your operating system or maybe move to another.
