I've never really picked apart what's different... Is there a description
of what's in there? From what I can see from looking in /usr/src/domestic,
our domestic sources include... Kerberos.
It makes sense to me to distribute a US-exportable NetBSD, if we lose nothing
but Kerberos.
How much of domestic could be thrown into pkgsrc with a "USA_RESIDENT"
dependency?
