I had a general rambling question:

	If NetBSD is aiming towards BSD and POSIX standards, why do so
many of the packages in pkgsrc have patches in their directories? Is it
that the programmers are so absent minded that they could give a damn
about who compiles it as long as it compiles on the machine they are
working on? I long for the day when the need for PKGSRC no longer
exists, sure it would be nice to still be able to 'make all install clean'
but those awful patches directories would be gone.


any ideas?
