In general, you can ignore anything Theo says after you make any
comparisons to NetBSD, because NetBSD is perfect, and anything that is
compared to NetBSD is a piece of s*it.   (And you will notice little
digs anytime you compare anything to NetBSD)

But, he is a pretty good hacker, so most of the time it makes up for it.
