No need for 6.8, you can build 6.10 straight with 6.6.

Kind of. There are still issues with *real* porting to other platforms
(#3472, probably more), but it's possible to create hc bootstrapping
filesets and use them to bootstrap on the same platform. Even if
this sounds kind of useless, it'll help a lot updating the OpenBSD
port.
