I think KDE is important enough that it should be in NetBSD proper.

Along this path lies insanity.  Please, let's try to put together a
"standard" install that uses the output of pkgsrc to install all these
cool widgets, and not add them to /usr/src.

There is no reason whatsoever that a "default install" of NetBSD can't
come in flavors like other OS releases do:

	Server (apache, a variety of databases, scripting languages)
	Desktop KDE (KDE, lots of useful desktop-oriented tools)
	Desktop Gnome (like KDE but with Gnome)
	...

These can even ask at startup what packages they want, with the default
as given above.  I would even say syspkg should go away and nearly
everything in there should become a pkgsrc package, and be maintained
(and upgradable) independently of the base OS install.
