My knee jerk reaction is that its code maturity and how 'hardend' the OS is.  For example, redhat has to patch sendmail and openssh considerably more than you see updates in the OpenBSD tree.  But, in the same respect you see a larger volume of packages and quicker support for new features in Redhat than OpenBSD.

That's two extreem's, hopefully noone mistakenly thinks I'm compairing RHEL to OpenBSD LOL

and BTW, I rather like using OpenBSD for network non-hosting devices like Packet Filter, and other things I set and forget.  Once you figure out the disk layout, its all downhill from there ;)
