   After doing a lot of digging around, I still haven't found much of
   anything to answer my question. What's missing in 4.4 BSD Lite, that's
   in 4.3 BSD net2?

Is it *really* that important?

   i.e. if I needed a working 4.4 based OS in a hurry,
   what should I pull from my 4.3 sources?

If you need a working 4.4-based OS in a hurry, you should probably
install NetBSD.
