   you've not tried NetBSD-current lately on a 'serious' system, have you?
   we're more stable than they are, and we *have been* for a while.  (I'd
   say we were "more stable" when 0.9 came out, but that's not a fair
   comparison; they'd not done a release yet!  however, we killed a couple of
   real *killers* right before 0.9 that i know they've not killed yet, because
   i get get their commit messages via e-mail, in the same way that many of
   them get ours.)

And if you believe all that, I have a bridge I think you'd be really
interested in!  Both groups are making a number of strides forward,
and someone like Chris is as qualified to speak on our behalf as we
are to speak on his.

It's also sad when someone abuses their position on our commit lists
to publically denigrate us.  Enough.
