Aside from applications like vi rm mv etc (probably more) which require
a slight bit more effort if the file has no write permission, what
difference does the user 'w' (or 'r' ... 'x' does matter) permission
bit really make on a root owned file?

I assume you aren't talking about group/other 'w' permission,
which might be fine for you to grant on your own system, but
certainly not to ship with NetBSD.
