But the work in NetBSD isn't related to NetBSD. It's work that CAP has done for either group, so we're just bringing in the outside work in the same manner as NetBSD did. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that there's more chance for errors getting the work second-hand when you can get it first-hand. *grin* Nate
