I never put that perspective at stake, just said that *now* is a great 
time to show the NetBSD value to everybody else. If we can show that 
NetBSD is better than FreeBSD right now in terms of performance the 
NetBSD community can achieve the interest of new users or even 
developers. And more people mean more scrutiny, even though the 
community as is has allways done a terrific job - in a quality/quantity 
ratio it's probably the best OS community around the globe :)
