i can see on WWW page:
"NetBSD focuses on clean design and well architected solutions. Because of
this NetBSD may support certain 'exciting' features later than other
systems,
but as time progresses the NetBSD codebase is getting even stronger
and easier to manage, while other systems that value features over code
quality are
finding increasing problems with code management and conflicts. "
so are you sure biggest possible market is NetBSD target?!
i'm sure this target excludes the above. linux history is perfect example
of that.
99% of todays computer users won't see ANY difference between well
designed software and badly designed.
NetBSD is for the remaining 1%. changing this will kill it's well known
quality.
