Then there should be a discussion now that NetBSD has chosen to add the
same functionality so that the interfaces in queue.h are the same in
both OSes.

I for one would not be satisfied with SIMPLEQ since it doesn't provide
as much information about the Q type as STAILQ and SLIST do, but
the main issue I raise here is that the two OSes shouldn't be gratutously
different and we should take what seem like simple steps to ensure that
they aren't. (Especially for interfaces exported to userland)
