This isn't true. Julian committed a huge diff, it failed, he backed
it out. I've committed parts of the non conflicting stuff, and will
continue to do so cautiously.

Actually, that's not entirely true either. FreeBSD had a boatload of
vendors not in NetBSD, and there's general agreement that the OpenBSD
shortness of names is a good thing.

I did the first round of merging in about an hour, along with the
merge backs to NetBSD.
My big worry is breaking things on NetBSD when I merge back things
there, so I really want to be cautious and do things very carefully.
