Sorry, but I'm a little pissy on this... idle opinions don't help. At this point I tend to discount opinions by people that are doing something. Thus I don't care what NetBSD or OpenBSD do. My slant in which to use is dictatated by the toolchain. NetBSD does not contribute back their changes, nor can I use them (or look at them), else I taint FreeBSD's GNU toolchain with bits that I have to maintain forever as they cannot be made part of the official distributions. Of course if you know about a strong technical issue, that I'm interested in hearing.
