I don't understand why 6+ months is spent coming out with a "patch" 1.6.1 
version, instead of a designated set of features for 1.7 version.  It 
seemed to be about the same amount of work!

Once upon a time, in another place, patch versions were released at 
least monthly (even weekly), cued to fixing specific bugs, but no new 
features.  Instead, NetBSD seems to have "pullups" to "stable".  In a 
production environment, that'll never fly!  Need very specifically 
labelled milestones.

It may be time to re-think the production schedule.  I know you'll 
hate hearing this, but OpenBSD seems to do it, why not NetBSD?
