I disagree, because:

1) It makes hard to use alternate pthread library, especially pthread
  libraries which support more than 100,000 threads.
  With today's RAM price, such number of threads can be easily
  supported by userland implementations and SA pthread, but
  current 1:1 thread library just cannot support such application.

2) This is not what most other UNIX-based OSes do.
  Solaris, HP-UX, Linux and FreeBSD are all use indepedent libpthread
  library.  Making NetBSD different from UNIX common sense is not
  way to go.

Above 1) is a critical problem, I believe.
