So far I have heard two arguments for why NetBSD is doing (2), even
ignoring the classic "It has always been that way":

1) Hope that syspkgs becomes a reality.
2) Because pkgsrc must be special on NetBSD.

Neither argument is good and I'd strongly argue that the second one has
even created more harm than good both for NetBSD and pkgsrc.
