Kernel size doubled, gcc 3.X is a hog that ought to be slaughtered,
threads and SMP are in developmental transition.  That's not what I
have in mind for a stable server.  Not to mention the bad reports I
have read about NetBSD 2.X problems ...

I see, only a few more months.  That won't help.  But thanks for the
info I needed to make a decision.
