It sounds sort of like the old SCO SVR3.2 UNIX.

SCO UNIX - $1000
SCO UNIX NETWORKING WITH MAIL - $1000
SCO X11 - $1000
SCO DEVELOPMENT - $1000

If you take email out of NetBSD, then there will be less people on the
mailing lists, annoying the developers.

If you take out the ability to print. then maybe the "Save The Trees" people
will donate money to the NetBSD Foundation.

Pkgsrc is limited. Install NetBSD 2.0 and use the pkgsrc for NetBSD 2.0, or
live with getting your /usr/pkg trashed by a newer pkgsrc trying to upgrade
everything that you already have installed.
