Hey, that would be nice.

Yup.. at least I would like this a lot.  There are lots of things in
-current that I wanted to have months ago - and I still don't know if
I'll have them this year, even. :-I  There are at least 5 machines
which would greatly benefit from the com driver improvements and a few
which would use IP filter and TCP wrappers if that was possible with
standard NetBSD binaries.  Not to mention the improved swap stuff, bug
fixes etc..

Please, call it whatever you want, but make a release soon :-)
