Ehh, Linux has a "core" too; they're just much more low-key about it.

I think the major feature that Linux and FreeBSD has which NetBSD
doesn't is a bazaar-oriented development style in various forms.
Linux is pure bazaar; FreeBSD is what I consider a bazaar-cathedral
hybrid.  NetBSD's development model is cathedral through and through.

I won't comment here on the relative merits of bazaar-based and
cathedral-based development, except to say that the bazaar is
definitely the trend today.  Whether it will still be the trend
tomorrow is anyone's guess.
