Competition is fine :-)  But if you were following the linux-vax mailing
list, you'd know that they've been leaning pretty hard on the established
work of the NetBSD/vax source code and suggestions from Ragge.

That's not to belittle their work though.  God knows it's a hell of a lot
harder to port Linux to a new platform than it is to port NetBSD!  ;-)
