BSD/OS compatiblity was never in doubt as a goal - there's a REASON to put the work into that. For NetBSD, I still don't see the reason. Don't forget, this isn't a company and we don't go down an extensive checklist of each and every function before release - if a feature isn't used, it rots and you might as well have not bothered in the first place. It'd be nice if we could have such thorough regression testing, but we do the best with the resources we have. I don't see that NetBSD support would stay working for very long considering that most people would never use it. Jordan
