This has been said before.
Well RiscBSD aka NetBSD/arm32 has an adduser command too, so this is not a
reason for me to switch. ;-) I hope the installation and configuration stuff
made for the arm32 port will be used by all ports in the future because it
really makes life easier.

As OpenBSD wants to be "NetBSD plus more" OpenBSD is IMHO included implicitly
if somebody mentions something NetBSD can do or runs on which applies to my
statement too.
Btw, don't you want to update the WWW page which lists what OpenBSD has more
than NetBSD? It lists a lot of things which NetBSD also has now.
