No, in another thread on this list, I stated that there are a number of reasons why the NetBSD CVS repository is not publicly available, none of which are appropriate for discussion here. I had assumed the tone of my response would keep people from making additional (apparently snide) remarks on the topic. > The commit messages are meaningless w/out the code diffs.

In this case, not only does OpenBSD not have the code in question (neither do they have some of the code I was referring to in the other thread), but it's unlikely that their commit message will be useful... probably just another "sync with netbsd ..."
