Re: qe missing config reference to if_uba

Argh! mrg, not nrg. (sorry)

And to be clear, netbsd 10.1 is still on the netbsd-10 branch, as will 
any further releases of version 10.

Try to visualize development as going on in current, which is main, 
which isn't a branch. Then when a new major version of netbsd is 
released, a branch is created on which all further development for any 
update to that version of netbsd will be done on. Which is work that is 
done in parallel with further development of current.

Any specific release is then also tagged, so you can easily check out 
any specific version you are interested in, but those tags are then 
along the line on the branch.
