Hear hear!  I've been using NetBSD since 1.0A, and the last few months
is the first time that I really felt unconstrained on a generic -current
install with no local software added.  (Much as 1.1 was the first time I
felt comfortable with NetBSD for limited production use.  By 1.2.1, I
felt quite happy putting it in heavy production use, and am doing so to
this day...)  My thanks to all who have made NetBSD the great product it
is today.
