That's not necessarily broken by design.  There are literally hundreds
of examples in the NetBSD that explicitly don't do this.  It tends to
lead to an O(N^2) of include files.  This used to be a big deal, but
these days it is less so.  There's also can be namespace issues with
including too many files.

That's insufficient.  NetBSD 1.6.2_RC3 doesn't include sys/param.h
directly, and likely includes it indirectly only by accident.
