I second this whole-heartedly. If you have several different architectures
at your site (4 at last count) that you want to run NetBSD, it is rather
annoying to suck down a 'base.tgz' with '/usr/share' in it just to
literally throw it away after download. In Germany you pay TeleKom for
every minute you are on-line !

The 'info' files are cumbersome to navigate but sometimes necessary
because there are no (usable) 'man'-pages for certain packages (esp. FSF
software). I really don't think anyone would be overly upset if they were
put into a seperate set: "If you want them - get them" ;). 

just my 2pf (local currency ;)),
