umm, well, if we (NetBSD developers) see them and think they're worthwhile,
then we'll integrate them, that's one way they'll be useful.
also, note that the system is not changing *overnight* it's slowly
evolving; any changes you post to the net will probably be applicable
until either we integrate them or we come up with a better
solution. when i say applicable, i mean either "patches will apply
cleanly" or "will apply with minor hacking"...
